The Florida House of Representatives has introduced House Resolution HR 8071, which recognizes July 25, 2025, as "Afro-Latina, Afro-Caribbean, and Diaspora Women's Day" in the state. This resolution highlights the significant contributions of Afro-descendant women globally, emphasizing their roles in shaping societies, enriching cultures, and advocating for equality and human rights. It acknowledges the impactful legacies of notable figures such as Celia Cruz, Miriam Jiménez Román, Suzanne Comhaire-Sylvain, and Louise Bennett-Coverley, who have each made substantial contributions to the arts, scholarship, and cultural identity within their communities.

The resolution also aligns with the international observance of July 25 as a day to celebrate the heritage and achievements of Afro-descendant women. It serves as an opportunity for reflection on the cultural legacies of Afro-Latina, Afro-Caribbean, and diaspora women, particularly those residing in Florida, and aims to promote awareness and appreciation of their contributions to society.
