H.R. No. 436

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, ChicaGirl magazine celebrated its 10th anniversary
	on July 14, 2017, and this decennial provides a welcome opportunity
	to recognize the periodical for its many contributions to the
	Latina community; and
	WHEREAS, Launched in 2007 as a free digital publication by
	San Antonio native Toni Lee Jimenez, ChicaGirl features stories
	written by Latinas and provides its readers with a platform where
	they can share their own ideas as well; Ms. Jimenez, a 2003 graduate
	of Loyola Marymount University, was inspired to create the magazine
	for Hispanic girls when she recognized a dearth of media geared
	toward that audience; and
	WHEREAS, Designed to empower its readership, ChicaGirl
	covers such relevant topics as body image, health, personal growth,
	socioeconomic issues, and cultural awareness; the magazine is also
	committed to helping young Latinas achieve their educational goals;
	since its founding, ChicaGirl has distributed thousands of dollars
	in scholarship funds, and it offers opportunities for readers to
	correspond with high school and college counselors who can connect
	them with useful resources and information; and
	WHEREAS, Over the course of the past decade, ChicaGirl
	magazine has made a meaningful difference in the lives of countless
	young women, and this noteworthy publication is indeed deserving of
	commendation as it marks this special milestone in its history;
	now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
	Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby commemorate the 10th
	anniversary of ChicaGirl magazine and extend to its editor, Toni
	Lee Jimenez, sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it
	further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for the magazine as an expression of high regard by the
	Texas House of Representatives.
