SOBA is an ode to the trailblazing Black Insurance professionals that came before us. Through the seemingly impossible, our ancestors “made a way out of no way”. Since the first recorded Black Insurance/Mutual Aid Societies of the 1800”s, the best of us have been on a quest to repair broken bonds and make a better way for our families, generation after generation. The successes that we can look to like North Carolina Mutual (1898), or Liberty Insurance (1919), were born out of a need to secure the lives and futures of our families and children when no one else would. Through the years, these success stories continued to fuel our community. SOBA continues in that same vein by creating a safe space for Black Insurance professions to Connect, Grow, and learn to better serve the Black community as only we can.

Since its inception in 2019 The Society of Black Agents (SOBA) has been dedicated to empowering and equipping Black Insurance Agents with the skills, resources, and network necessary to provide quality insurance products and education to the Black Community. We champion collaboration over competition and strive to create a strong foundation for Black Insurance Professionals to build successful careers. SOBA also serves as a key contributor in increasing the number of Black Agents in the industry.
