Mariah Bailey, CEO
Mariah Bailey is a disruptor, a builder, and a champion for Black excellence. Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, Mariah has lived a story of resilience and determination. From being a first-generation college graduate to serving as a U.S. Army veteran and building multiple successful businesses, her journey is a testament to what’s possible when passion meets purpose. She founded Black American Market (BAM) to do more than just challenge the status quo—she created it to redefine how Black businesses grow, connect, and thrive.
BAM isn’t just a platform—it’s a movement. Mariah designed BAM to be a dynamic ecosystem, providing more than a business directory or marketplace. It’s a hub for innovation, collaboration, and empowerment, where entrepreneurs can access resources, build connections, and create lasting impact. Through BAM, Mariah is creating pathways for Black businesses to gain the recognition, tools, and visibility they deserve.
For Mariah, this work is deeply personal. She knows the grind, the roadblocks, and the challenges that come with building something from the ground up. She’s lived it. BAM is her way of not just breaking barriers but erasing them entirely, ensuring that every entrepreneur has the opportunity to succeed in a world that often overlooks their brilliance.
Mariah’s journey is more than inspiring—it’s proof that with vision, hard work, and a commitment to community, anything is possible. Through BAM, she’s leading a movement to build wealth, uplift communities, and rewrite the narrative for Black entrepreneurs everywhere.
When you support BAM, you’re not just supporting a business—you’re joining a revolution to empower Black businesses and transform communities. Together, we’re building a future where success is limitless.
