  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
tenacious and self-motivated leader, Brianna McField. Brianna has shown 
what can be done through hard work, dedication, and a desire to achieve 
success.
  Brianna McField is the 2013 Valedictorian of Yazoo County High 
School, an alumna of Millsaps College, and a current student at Jackson 
State University seeking her doctorate in Public Health Policy and 
Administration. She proves that beauty queens are more than pretty 
faces.
  Brianna will go on to represent the state of Mississippi in the 2022 
Miss Black USA Scholarship Pageant. She is a strong advocate for 
education and the uplift of women. Brianna has promoted women's 
empowerment and education about public health and social justice topics 
including heart disease, sex trafficking, autism awareness, and 
financial literacy.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Brianna 
McField for her passion and dedication to educate the community on 
health and financial literacy.
