                       Friday, December 19, 2025

  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, from the 24th district of the 
great state of Florida, I rise today to honor Missey Bailey for her 
impactful contributions to broadcasting and the South Florida 
community. I include in the Record the following Proclamation:

       Whereas, Missey Bailey, a South Florida native, discovered 
     her passion for the broadcasting industry at a young age, 
     inspired by her mother's work at WPLG Channel 10 and iconic 
     broadcasters such as Dwight Lauderdale and Ann Bishop; and
       Whereas, while pursuing her education at Broward Community 
     College, Ms. Bailey balanced multiple roles as a private duty 
     nurse and an employee at Pages of Life, South Florida's 
     oldest Bible bookstore, exemplifying her dedication to 
     serving others; and
       Whereas, Ms. Bailey launched her broadcasting career at 
     WEXY/1520 AM in Fort Lauderdale, where she excelled as an on-
     air talent and producer of the nightly show ``Night Talk with 
     Rob Jackson''; and
       Whereas, on Mother's Day in 1999, Ms. Bailey fulfilled her 
     dream of hosting her own show, ``Inspirational Yours,'' on 
     WEDR/99 Jamz, a heritage station that amplified her voice and 
     connection with the South Florida community; and
       Whereas, in 2004, Ms. Bailey transitioned to WHQT/Hot 105 
     FM where she continued to inspire audiences as the host of 
     ``Sunday Morning Joy with Paula'' and introduced her 
     acclaimed series, ``On Assignment with Missey Bailey''; and
       Whereas, in addition to her on-air achievements, Ms. Bailey 
     served as Gospel Music Director and Community Relations 
     Assistant for Hot 105 FM, further solidifying her role as a 
     trusted leader and advocate for her community; and
       Whereas, her trailblazing career in radio broadcasting and 
     her unwavering commitment to uplifting others have left an 
     indelible mark on the South Florida community; and
       Now, therefore, be it resolved that I, Frederica S. Wilson, 
     a member of the United States House of Representatives, 
     representing the 24th Congressional District of Florida, on 
     this 25th Anniversary of The Embrace Girls Foundation honor 
     Missey Bailey for her exceptional contributions to the

     broadcasting industry, her commitment to community 
     engagement, and her inspiring legacy as a voice of positivity 
     and hope in South Florida.
