  Mr. BILIRAKIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor the 
unique contributions of one of my constituents, Ms. Janine Kell. Ms. 
Kell is an engaged and dedicated volunteer with Warrior 321, an anti-
human trafficking awareness group. Most recently, Janine was 
instrumental in hosting the community's second annual Light Up the 
Night Hernando event to bring awareness about human trafficking to the 
county.
  Janine never sleeps and has truly dedicated her life in every way to 
fighting on behalf of the vulnerable. In addition to her work to 
prevent the horrific crime of human trafficking, Janine regularly 
speaks at local schools, educating students on the Monique Burr 
curriculum. The Monique Burr curriculum is a

comprehensive, evidence-based program for kids in grades K-5. It 
empowers children and relevant adults with information and strategies 
to prevent, recognize, and appropriately respond to bullying, 
cyberbullying, abuse, and digital abuse dangers. Beyond advocacy, 
Janine will often work directly with children who have been victims of 
abuse to help ensure they get the support they need to fully recover. 
Her compassion and empathy know no bounds.
  It is clear that Ms. Kell has made a profoundly positive impact on 
our community and on the lives of countless people she has worked with. 
I am grateful for her service.
