In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It honors Najah Aziz, the owner and master stylist of Like The River Salon in Atlanta, for her decade of work in the beauty industry, her large social media following, an international teaching residency in London, and her charitable work donating hairstyling services to women's shelters, special education students, and cancer survivors. The resolution formally states that the House recognizes and commends her for her career accomplishments and community contributions. It directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare an official copy of the resolution for distribution to Najah Aziz as a keepsake of the honor.
