Born in Nigeria, Boma has lived in Botswana, Canada, and the US. She founded the Support Network for Indigenous Women & Women of Colour (SNIWWOC) in 2014 after experiencing frustrations with the lack of culturally sensitive reproductive health support for racialized women. SNIWWOC is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving health outcomes for Black, Indigenous women, and women of colour. The organization has an operating budget of over $500,000, an amazing nine-person staff and numerous volunteers, and provides services nationally. Boma is a member of the Victoria-Harbourside Rotary Club, where she volunteers on global projects focused on addressing gender-based inequities with the Rotary Foundation. She was awarded the 2020 BC Multiculturalism and Anti-racism Award, was one of 10 women recognized in 2021 as a L’Oreal Women of Worth Award honoree, and was a 2023 eWomenNetwork grant recipient. In January 2023, Boma was appointed to the Inquiry Committee of the BC College of Nurses and Midwives. The Inquiry Committee reviews complaints or other information that could give rise to an investigation, directs the investigation process, and assesses whether remedial and/or disciplinary action is warranted.
