Bessy Martinez Day

Join us in Austin, Texas as we gather to honor a powerful milestone, the 1-year anniversary of Bessy Martinez Day, officially proclaimed by the City of Austin in recognition of Bessy Martinez’s leadership, impact, and dedication to uplifting Latinas across every stage of their journey.

This evening is more than a celebration, it is a moment of reflection, recognition, and community. As the Founder of the Latina Foundation, Bessy has helped build a grassroots movement centered on access, empowerment, and visibility for Latinas who are starting, growing, and leading in their own way.

We are proud to host this special evening in collaboration with Austin Latinas Unidas, coming together to honor a leader whose work continues to create space for others to rise.

Expect an intentional evening filled with community, connection, storytelling, and celebration as we recognize what this proclamation represents, not just for one woman, but for the collective…
