                         Tuesday, May 12, 2020

  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
tenacious and ambitious woman, Deborah Wright, who has shown what can 
be done through hard work, dedication and a desire to serve others.
  Deborah was born to the late Mr. Lee Grant Bridges and Mrs. Lutishia 
Bridges on November 6, 1961 in Rosedale, MS. She attended Marshall 
Elementary, Brinkley Jr. High and Hinds A.H.S. then crossed over to 
Hinds Jr. College in Utica, MS.
  Deborah Wright married in 1981 and two loving children, Laquita 
Shonta Sampson and Lawrence Douglas Sampson Jr., were born.
  In 1995, Mrs. Wright received her Real Estate Degree from the 
Mississippi Realtors Institute in Jackson MS. With an unwavering 
passion to improve her community, create balanced mental health care 
regimes, and to encourage others to excel past adversity, Deborah 
became the epitome of women in business leadership. She has established 
herself as a trailblazer in the business industry for over 30 years 
with entrepreneurial experience in the state of Mississippi. After 
college in 1981 Deborah Wright was employed by Milwaukee Electric Tools 
as a repair person. In 1992, she incorporated her first business, 
Teen's World Activity and Community Center, which is a non-profit 
organization. In 1992, Deborah worked as the Public Relations Officer 
for Operation Shoestring, Inc. and later Deborah partnered with her 
mother, Lutishia Bridges and opened ``Linda's Florist and Gift Shop'' 
in Jackson in 1996 and she also worked in transportation for Jackson 
Public School District.
  Mrs. Wright rose against adversity by becoming the first African 
American woman in the world and sole proprietor of Mississippi Truck 
Driving Training, Inc., located in Jackson, Mississippi. After closing 
the truck driving school Deborah started Sincere Trucking. She 
wittingly coined its name from her late grandson, Master Sincere 
Rachele Christian.
  This Bolivar County native has always exhibited visionary strength, 
while achieving a ripple effect of empowerment for future endeavors 
within the Health Care Industries. She later started Sincere Home Care, 
LLC in June 2013, certified and licensed with MS Department of Mental 
Health and MS Health Department to provide a complement of services to 
the community. She patterned her mission statement after her non-profit 
organization: Helping Other People Excel (H. O. P. E.). She developed 
her companies to offer a solution for the need of a permanent mediator 
between mental health and health care.
  Deborah is not a stranger to blazing paths; she is motivated by the 
belief to insure a healthy standard of care for every client. She has 
vowed to ensure that Sincere Home Care LLC would become a pillar of 
major change for the impoverished and unhealthy in every county in 
Mississippi. Her goal is to provide first-rate employment opportunities 
as well as outstanding health care services for all social classes. 
Some of her services include: Assisted Living; Supervised Living; 
Sincere Home Care, LLC: a Mental Health Headquarter which includes: 
Community Mental Health & Substance Abuse and Recovery, Supported 
Living, Community Respite, Peer Support, Disabled & Developmental 
Disabled Community Support, Home Nursing Respite, Private Duty Nursing 
and Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapy; three Adult Day Service 
Centers: in Jackson, Louisville and Morton, MS.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Mrs. 
Deborah Wright for her passion and dedication to serving many people 
and having the desire to make a difference in the communities.
