In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It commends Jamelle E. McKenzie, who serves as Chief Executive Officer of Adullam Ministries, President of the Service and Leadership Training Foundation, and Apostolic Leader of Kingdom Carriers International Church, for her leadership and community service in Georgia. The resolution recognizes March 20, 2025 as TrailBlazing Women in Georgia Day, citing her work founding organizations such as the IGNITE College Park Resource Center and BirthRight, her entrepreneurial ventures, and her published books. It directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for her.
