                        HONORING JIANNA CELESTIN

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. FREDERICA S. WILSON

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 11, 2023

  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the service and 
accomplishments of Jianna Celestin, my intern who is transitioning from 
my office to continue her mission. A Florida native with Haitian 
origins, Jianna came to my office ready to leave her impact on 
international relations. While in my office, Jianna has pushed my 
agendas to great lengths--from drafting memos, to organizing 
information, to researching data.
  In our time together, I have recognized that Jianna is a force in 
civil rights. Her passion has been powerful over the semester as we 
have fought for the lives of underserved and disadvantaged communities. 
Her commitment to social justice has led Jianna to serve as vice-
president of the Students of Color Association at Miami Country Day 
School. Jianna is in the process of completing a Global Studies Diploma 
Endorsement project. Jianna has and will continue to make a difference 
and leave her mark on policy as she continues to fight for a better 
system.
  On behalf of Florida's 24th Congressional District, I ask my 
colleagues to join me in honoring Jianna Celestin for her exemplary 
accomplishments, dedication to public service, and trailblazing 
leadership.
