  Mrs. McCLAIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dr. Corinthia 
Ridgley Boone as a 2025 She Leads America Young Christian Woman of 
Distinction award recipient.
  Dr. Corinthia Ridgley Boone is an author, bridge builder of unity, 
and an ambassador of prayer and reconciliation, both in the United 
States and internationally. She earned her Ph.D. in Philosophy and 
Counseling from Union University and devoted 25 years of service to the 
Prince George's County School System as a teacher, principal, and 
instructional specialist.
  In 1987, Dr. Boone founded Together in Ministry International to 
foster international and interracial relationships among pastors and 
churches in the capital region. Building on that vision, she 
established the International Christian Host Coalition in 1996 to 
coordinate churches, ministries, and organizations in reconciliation 
efforts, evangelistic outreach, and compassionate service.
  Since 1985, she has faithfully chaired the Capital City National Day 
of Prayer, uniting believers across denominational and cultural lines. 
Her leadership was recognized in 1988 when she was honored in Who's Who 
in Women's Ministry, and in 2025 is being honored as a She Leads 
America Christian Woman of Distinction.
  Dr. Boone has served tirelessly on numerous national and regional 
boards. She has spoken widely across the U.S. and abroad, emphasizing 
unity, prayer, racial reconciliation, and generational bridges. She 
continues to serve as God's ambassador of prayer and reconciliation in 
this generation.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating this 
outstanding woman of distinction.
