                RECOGNIZING THE SERVICE OF C.W. WHITAKER

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 21, 2025

  Ms. CROCKETT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. C.W. Whitaker, a 
dedicated leader in Dallas and friend to Texas' 30th District. Mr. 
Whitaker has used his platform as the owner of DFWBAM, a social media 
company to spread, in his words, ``blessings, love, and support'' to 
his community.
  Mr. Whitaker understands the value of investing in our youth and 
growing generational wealth for our communities. For thirty-one years, 
he mentored high school students on what it takes to start and run 
one's own business, taking them to visit Black-owned businesses in the 
DFW area. Yet. Mr. Whitaker's call to service is not limited to the 
classroom. Not only has he sat on multiple philanthropic boards and 
volunteered many hours through his company, Mr. Whitaker has also 
helped to elevate the businesses, churches, and other community events 
in the district. The exposure these businesses receive and the 
community that is built is an invaluable part of what makes this 
country and individuals, like Mr. Whitaker so amazing: neighbors 
helping neighbors for the good of all. That was clear during the 
pandemic when Mr. Whitaker graciously used his voice and resources to 
publicize four COVID vaccine events my office hosted, contributing to 
over two-hundred low-income constituents receiving their first and 
second vaccine shots.

  It is individuals like C.W. Whitaker that make serving Texas' 30th 
Congressional District a privilege and responsibility I do not take 
lightly. I am proud to recognize the humble servant that is Mr. 
Whitaker, for the deep passion and commitment he has. May we all follow 
in his footsteps of selfless action for the betterment of those around 
us. I thank Mr. Whitaker.
