Quote the text, not the summary. A Georgia House resolution recognizes and commends Atlanta hairstylist Najah Aziz for her career achievements and community service, extending the House's best wishes for her continued success. ### Plain-language summary 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. ### What it does - Formally recognizes and commends Najah Aziz for her career as a hairstylist and salon owner. - States the House's recognition of her charitable donations of services to women's shelters, special education students, and cancer survivors. - Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute an official copy of the resolution to her. - Creates no new law, funding, or regulatory change, since it is a ceremonial honor rather than legislation. ### Who it affects This resolution directly names and honors Najah Aziz, an Atlanta salon owner and hairstylist.
