Our Directors
The Main Event
Florida Latina and Teen Florida Latina is a series of leadership and development seminars, culminating with a start studded event dedicated to showcasing the beauty and talents of young women of Hispanic ancestry between the ages of 14 to 17 for the Teen Division and 18 to 27 for the Miss division, living in the State of Florida. Our objective is to instill cultural pride, self esteem and leadership qualities among these young women. This event provides an opportunity for Latinas to advance in their careers and personal goals by learning of their heritage, developing self esteem and networking.
Several of our winners have used the pageant to springboard their careers. Florida Latina alumni have achieved success in law, medicine, education, private business, public service, entertainment and so much more.
