Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor four extraordinary women for their impact on central Florida and beyond. Their tireless efforts, unwavering determination, and profound achievements have shaped our local history and continue to inspire generations to come. We honor them for their strength of character, unwavering spirit, and profound influence that they have on our community. These women are: Graciela Noriega Jacoby, chief operating officer of Heart of Florida United Way; Dr. Marie Jose Francois, founder of the Center for Multicultural Wellness and Prevention; Pastor Sharon Y. Rule, founder and pastor of Agape Perfecting Praise and Worship Center; and Oncantho Am, associate general counsel at the University of Central Florida. I want to celebrate these women and all that they have done for our community. Honoring Sheila DiCiccio
