OUR IDEOLOGY

The organization originally formed in 2014 under the leadership of Dr. Eletha Thompson, a Black Woman and East Side Buffalo native. Eletha has served the community in many capacities as a social worker, volunteer, educator, activist, and civic worker. She now focuses her career on promoting cultural consciousness, shifting power dynamics, and providing organizational development support to Black-led grassroots organizations and artists.

BOS is dedicated to ensuring that U.S Black culture is rich, celebrated, and healthy. After critical analysis of cultural genocide scholarship and Black liberation political ideology, a framework was created for BOSes to reclaim and celebrate their culture as a form of power.

BOS welcomes collaborations, partnerships, and contributions from anyone committed to the foundation's mission.
