                        Tuesday, March 28, 2023

  Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 2022 Miss 
Arkansas winner, Ebony Mitchell.
  Ebony was the 84th Miss Arkansas Scholarship Pageant winner, where 
she was awarded $30,000 in scholarship funds provided by the Ted and 
Shannon Boy Skokos Foundation and $75,000 in other areas.
  Last December, she represented our great state at Miss America in 
Connecticut.
  Becoming Miss Arkansas was a lifelong dream for Ebony.
  Her journey started when she won the Miss University of Arkansas 
Princess pageant in 2007, which entered her into the Diamond State 
Princess mentorship program.
  She had five appearances at Miss Arkansas before finally winning that 
title last year.
  Aside from her accomplishments at Miss Arkansas, she graduated from 
the University of Central Arkansas in 2019 with her Bachelor's Degree 
in Business Administration.
  As Miss Arkansas, she will continue to lead her social impact by 
leading the ``A Responsible Digital You'' initiative, which seeks to 
keep the children of Arkansas online safe.
  Ebony is a native of Harrison, Arkansas, where she's been a leader in 
civil rights and community spirit in her hometown.
  I congratulate Ebony for her accomplishments, and I look forward to 
continuing to watch her proudly represent our great state of Arkansas.
