Born on December 1st, 1978 this native of Freeport, Grand Bahama, Dr. Alia P. Campbell embraces the beginning of her birth month each year with her favorite song, Donny Hathaway’s “This Christmas”. Alia P. Campbell otherwise known as Dr. A’li is a mother, doctor of dental surgery and a warrior.
After graduating from Freeport Anglican High School in 1996, Campbell pursued tertiary training in the United States of America at the historically-black Xavier University of Louisiana, where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology and Chemistry. She went on to attend the University of the West Indies School of Dentistry at Mt. Hope in Trinidad and Tobago, from which she notably was the first Bahamian graduate.

Louis Jr and Associates where she has been the only associate in the 60 year old practice.

Being a firm believer in the best thing you can wear is a smile, she has made it her life’s work to make people want to do just that... Smile. Whether it be through her love for dentistry or her vibrant sense of humor she shares on social media, she lives each day responsibly as if it were her last; because, at one point it may have been.
Diagnosed with malignant ductal carcinoma in December 2018, Dr. Campbell fought fearlessly. She fought for her son Logan-James. She fought for the many women who were too tired to fight for themselves. She fought for and with her mother, who too was fighting cancer at the same time. Strengthened by her favorite scripture, Proverbs 31:25: “She is clothed in strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future,” Dr. Campbell fought because she was determined to be counted among the warriors who fought and won.
Following the passing of her mother post Hurricane Dorian September 2019, Alia chose to make a decision to live life fiercely and unapologetically. She makes no excuses for the energy she exudes and the woman she has become. She’s a pink starburst that walks in purpose with passion.
