A Georgia House resolution formally commends Ebony Porter-Ike, a business and entertainment entrepreneur, for her career achievements, without changing any state law.

In plain language

This resolution is a ceremonial honor passed by the Georgia House of Representatives. It recognizes Ebony Porter-Ike, described as a creator, executive producer, publicist, entrepreneur, and author, for her more than 15 years of work in business and entertainment, including her Coinology brand and her company Ebony Eyes Entertainment. The resolution does not create, change, or repeal any Georgia law. It simply states the House's recognition of her accomplishments and directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for her.
