Florida Panthers honors Jamaican-American Broward Commissioner Alexandra P. Davis

In celebration of Black History Month, the Florida Panthers have launched their fourth season of their ‘Celebration of Black Excellence’ Series, presented by Amazon, honoring South Florida community members like Broward County District 7 Commissioner Alexandra P. Davis who go above and beyond in their respective fields.

Recognizing individuals from diverse sectors—including business, education, healthcare, and the arts—the series highlights the invaluable contributions of Black leaders dedicated to making a difference.

Among this year’s distinguished honorees is Commissioner Alexandra P. Davis. Commissioner Davis was recognized during the Panthers’ Black History Night, held on February 8 at Amerant Bank Arena, where all honorees were celebrated for their impactful community work.

Commissioner Davis has been a trailblazer in preserving and promoting Black history and Caribbean culture in Broward County. She led the charge in celebrating Black History Month and Reggae Month, coining the phrase “Black History Meets Reggae” to emphasize the deep-rooted connection between African and Caribbean heritage.
