Jessica Alba reminds the world that when Latinas shine, they light up everything around them. In a powerful Instagram post, Alba celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month by spotlighting a lineup of trailblazing Latinas who inspire her daily.
The actress, entrepreneur, and activist wrote, “Crushing on these #Latinas who radiate poder, light, and love – celebrating our cultura every day through who they are and how they move through the world – today and always.” Her carousel of photos featured icons like Eva Longoria, Salma Hayek, Zoe Saldaña, America Ferrera, and Dolores Huerta, along with leaders, creators, and changemakers across media, fashion, and activism.

Alba’s post wasn’t just about admiration. It was a call to acknowledge the collective strength of Latinas who are shaping culture and challenging barriers.
From Huerta’s historic labor rights advocacy to Longoria’s directing and producing, these women are more than celebrities—they’re cultural architects. Alba emphasized that they embody the very essence of poder (power), shining a light that inspires future generations to dream bigger.
Culture Makers: A Mission Rooted in Unity
The actress also reflected on Culture Makers, the initiative she co-founded with Tracy Brennan in 2023. The project’s vision is simple yet profound: celebrate and uplift Hispanic and Latin voices while fostering collaboration and connection.

Gratitude for the Collective Journey
One of the most striking parts of Alba’s message was her reflection on community over competition. She thanked the sisterhood of Latinas for proving that success is not a solitary climb, but a shared rise.
“To this sisterhood: thank you for reminding us that success isn’t a solo journey. That our greatest currency is connection. And that when we come together, we rise together."

Celebrating Every Day, Not Just a Month
While Hispanic Heritage Month offers a platform for visibility, Alba made it clear this celebration isn’t confined to a calendar. Her tribute was a reminder that culture lives in daily moments, in how people show up, support one another, and continue to break ceilings.
“So here’s to culture, community, and connection,” she closed. “Here’s to abundance, expansion, and our comunidad. Besos.”
