                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 11, 2024

  Mrs. RAMIREZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor my constituent, 
Andre Jones, in recognition of BIPOC Mental Health Awareness Month. 
Andre's life and creativity are an invitation to celebrate the beauty 
of our shared humanity.
  Andre, a Chicago native from the Logan Square area in the IL-03, has 
published a unique coloring book. It is called ``Colorful Memoirs: A 
Journey Through Andre's Life,'' which offers a glimpse into his 
experiences and affirms his credo: ``Just like you, I am a human 
being.''
  Andie participates in the community living programs at Envision 
Unlimited, where he practices his commitment to inclusion and 
community-building through his leadership of the cycling committee. 
There, he met Treena Glover, Envision Unlimited's residential housing 
manager. Treena, who passionately nurtures the residents' unique 
interests and talents, served as Andre's motivator and helped co-author 
Andre's coloring book.
  Andre is donating the proceeds from the coloring book to support his 
beloved summer cycling programs. On behalf of Illinois' Third 
Congressional District, I commend Andre Jones for his contributions to 
mental health awareness and his ongoing efforts to equip and uplift our 
community.
