Creating & Collaborating Across Generations
Founded as Brockton's first Black business advocacy organization & social impact venture in 2020, the mission of Black Owned Brockton is to curate a cohesive, collaborative space where business and social connections can be made & sustained.​ What started as an Instagram page has become a movement; an avenue for creating purposeful and long-lasting engagement between Brockton's Black business, community, and excellence

Our goal is to make it easier for you to discover local Black-owned businesses, in addition to documenting the significance of Brockton's culture.

While there’s no rigid set of criteria — we pick what we like — there are two basic requirements:
​

A business that we’ve experienced for ourselves. We vouch for everything we cover here.
