She highlights the visionary leadership of Ms. Alpha, who has dedicated 40 years to building deep roots in the community. Dr. Harrell expresses her enthusiasm for the future, stating, "I'm excited to say I'm a part of that next 40 years. I'm part of leaving a legacy, and this is definitely part of divine, divine guidance."
