In 2017, Black Business Women of Southeast Texas and Black Business Men of Southeast Texas was formed. The founder, Dawanna Jones, recognized that there were many successful Black entrepreneurs and professionals in the area who needed to be encouraged and supported. Working with others, the two organizations were combined to form Black Business Professionals of Southeast Texas in 2018 as a community-based organization focused on recognizing, uplifting, supporting, and developing Black business professionals in Southeast Texas.
