humble attitude ... "
So it was only natural for her to
headline the South Hill parade she
once watched as a child.
" The Mecklenburg County
Chamber of Commerce asked her,
and Odicci graciously accepted, "

ROLE MODEL
Games come and go. Not so for the
influence Alexander now has on a new
generation of young female athletes
who look up to her, especially young
Black girls.
She talks about young admirers
coming up to her at games, and even

she remarks. " I see girls wearing my

my loving family. I really can't thank
them enough for everything they
have done for me, and I just thank
God for blessing me with such great
grandparents. "
