Why It Matters:
Maine Community Foundation is proud to celebrate local Black history makers this February. These Black leaders are championing racial equity across Maine while expanding or creating opportunities for creativity, justice, and success in our communities. Today, we are honored to feature Rose Barboza, Executive Director of Black Owned Maine. Founded in June 2020, Black Owned Maine provides Black businesses with the essential support they need to not only establish themselves, but also to thrive and grow. They empower Black entrepreneurs with the tools and resources to shape a brighter economic landscape in Maine. “I envision a Maine where there is equitable access to resources for everyone, regardless of race, culture, language, or ethnicity. This will be achieved through a series of educational and informational initiatives, empowering the disenfranchised communities,” said Rose. “We must distribute power in a way where not one class or race makes decisions for everyone else. I believe Maine has a unique opportunity to make this a reality.” Rose is inspired by the individuals and collectives that continue to show up every day despite the circumstances they may be facing, as well as those who refuse the current system and create their own pathways to success and happiness. Black Owned Maine was a 2023 BIPOC Fund grantee, and Rose was awarded a 2021 Investing in Leaders of Color (ILOC) grant. Thank you to Rose and Black Owned Maine for sustaining and innovating an ecosystem for Black entrepreneurs in Maine! 📷 Photo courtesy Rose Barboza. #maine #mainecommunityfoundation #mainecf #blackhistorymonth #blackownedmaine #blackowned #bom #rosebarboza
