                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 28, 2015

  Mr. COFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Asya Gonzalez of 
Centennial, Colorado. Asya is the winner of the 2015 Dan Danner 
Leadership Award at the National Federation of Independent Businesses 
(NFIB) Young Entrepreneur Awards held July 23, 2015 in Washington, DC.
  Asya is an exceptional young woman who started her own business, 
Stinky Feet Gurlz, at the age of fourteen. Stinky Feet Gurlz is a 
1940's inspired apparel and accessories collection aimed at teen-aged 
girls and young women. She donates a portion of every sale to her 
charity ``She is Worth It,'' which brings preventative awareness and 
education of child sex trafficking. Aside from running a successful 
business and charity, Asya is a radio personality and preferred speaker 
for International Youth. As the recipient of the 2015 Dan Danner 
Leadership Award, Asya received a $15,000 Young Entrepreneur Foundation 
college scholarship, which she will be able to use as she enters her 
first year of college this fall.
  Asya's entrepreneurial spirit and passion is truly inspiring to see 
at such a young age. I take great pride representing Asya Gonzalez in 
Colorado's Sixth Congressional District and I join her family, friends, 
and colleagues in congratulating her on this achievement. I wish her 
the very best of luck in all of her future endeavors.
