  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
remarkable professional, Dr. Lakeisha Richardson.
  As an alumna of Xavier University, the University of Tennessee 
Medical School and the University of Mississippi School of Medicine, 
the illustrious Dr. Lakeisha Richardson, has emerged as one of the 
nation's most brilliant and well-respected Board-Certified 
Obstetrician/Gynecologist. ``Dr. Lakeisha'' as she is affectionately 
called by her clients and colleagues, advises and motivates women to 
prioritize their health, which she contends is their ``true wealth''.
  When she is not delivering babies, treating patients, or saving lives 
in the ER, Dr. Lakeisha is captivating audiences at universities, 
corporate events, conferences, churches and nonprofit organizations, 
where she shares information about women's health strategies, self-
empowerment, mental and psychological well-being, and the art of living 
a balanced life.
  Her compelling story of personal challenges and triumphs combined 
with a compassionate heart and a wealth of knowledge makes Dr. Lakeisha 
relatable to all audiences. Her warm spirit, winning smile and engaging 
personality also leaves audiences captivated and inspired to live their 
best lives spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and 
financially.
  Dr. Lakeisha is also very passionate about issues relating to women's 
sexual health. Her brilliance, expertise, and ability to provide women 
with the knowledge, skills and strategies they need in order to 
experience true intimacy, sexual pleasure, and fulfillment has led Dr. 
Lakeisha to facilitate numerous sessions on topics such as 
Communicating with Your Partner, Being an Active Part in Your Sexual 
Fulfillment, Overcoming Sexual Fears, Navigating New Sexual Territory, 
and Creating Your Ultimate Life.
  Dr. Lakeisha is also a well-known speaker, consultant, radio show 
host, and an adjunct professor. She is the Founder and CEO of Dr. 
Lakeisha Ob/Gyn and has a successful private practice in Mississippi.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Dr. 
Lakeisha Richardson for her dedication to serving others and giving 
back to the community.
