The resolution also notes her recognition as one of Variety's 10 Artisans to Watch in 2022, her role as co-founder and executive producer of the Leading Beauty Industry Awards, and her community work as executive director of Banneker Class of 1989, Inc., a nonprofit that provides mentorship and scholarships to students at Benjamin E. Banneker High School. The Senate directs its Secretary to send her a copy of the resolution.
