Country music star Reba McEntire sat down with TODAY’s Craig Melvin as a part of NBC’s 2023 Inspiration List where she opened up about her mission to help restore Atoka, Oklahoma – a town near where she grew up.
Reba told Melvin, “Mama always said, ‘Surround yourself with people who are smarter than you and who are good people,’ and that’s what we have here in Atoka, Oklahoma.”
She continued, “I hope people get back in here and to revitalize downtown and the surrounding areas. It’s already happening and it’s fun to watch.”
Inspiring America: The 2023 Inspiration List airs Saturday, June 10 at 8pm ET on NBC.
