                     CONGRATULATING TAKEITA TOLLMAN

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
Savannah attorney Takeita Tollman for her placement on the Georgia 
Trend 40 Under 40 list.
  Takeita is a very impressive young woman who has dedicated her life 
to public service. She began her career as a certified nurse assistant 
in high school, intending to become a doctor upon graduation.
  Once she reached college, she realized that her passion was in 
writing and turned to a career in the legal profession.
  Takeita attended law school at the University of Akron in Akron, 
Ohio. Takeita's legal specialties are Social Security disability, 
workers' compensation, and personal injury.
  Takeita is serving some of the most vulnerable within our community. 
She is dedicated to helping people not just in the office but after 
hours, too.
  She is a member of the Port City Bar Association and offers job 
shadowing to members of 100 Black Men of America. She also organized a 
sock drive for Savannah's homeless population.
  I am proud to say that stories like Takeita's aren't uncommon in 
Savannah, though this makes them no less impressive. It just shows the 
kind of city we are.
  I take this opportunity to thank Georgia Trend for recognizing 
Takeita's excellent work today and congratulate her on making the 40 
Under 40 list.
