I know if they award a Nobel prize for this but TVOne just gave her an award on a special titled WOME WHO LEAD. a few minutes ago. It will probably be rebroadcast at a later date. Today's date is May 22, 2021. This station always rebroadcast special programs.

[@debrawatson7489]

YES ..... IT IS SOOOO GOD TO SEE .... GOOD NEWS !!

[@hospitaldrive1232]

Ala is the most FAKE and phoney person I've ever met. This is all for personal hype. Not truly helping the community or people in need nor the people that was with her from the beginning. If it was for the good of people she would not have you sign a NON Disclosure form.

[@carolinatrigo2461]

She deserves absolutely the best for her work; the lovely recognition, the street name, the fleet of honking vehicles, everthing! We need so many more people like Dr. Ala Stanford, those that not only stand up, but make it intentional!

That's how you do it when you make it, you go back to help/build up your community. That's a great woman to use her power, platform and resources to help her community.

what a great story. reminds me of a doctor we have here in north nj that I work for. He opened up walk up testing sites all over the place in poor communities. I've tested people of all races, homeless people, police officers, a pastor, etc. We had a testing site I worked at that was in such a bad area we'd see people shooting up in front of us. I applaud our lead doctor who went out of his way to spend thousands of dollars on PPE and testing sites.
