Alan Williams a brother of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. and Adrianna Williams a soror of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. have made history as the only African American father-daughter tandem serving in the Biden-Harris Administration.
We at Watch The Yard reached out to the family to learn more about their shared commitment to public service, a legacy of leadership and representation, and how their journey highlights the profound impact of family at the highest levels of government.

Alan Williams: A Seasoned Public Servant and Changemaker
Alan Williams, Former Florida State Representative and Florida Legislative Black Caucus Chair has spent his career championing equity and opportunity in economic development. A proud life member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. (Alpha Xi Chapter, Florida A&M University), Alan served as Deputy Assistant Secretary at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development under Secretary Marcia Fudge before joining the White House as Senior Advisor for Intergovernmental Affairs and Public Engagement for Vice President Kamala Harris. His work has centered on building stronger communities and fostering collaboration between local and federal government.
“Serving the American people has always been a great honor, but doing so alongside my daughter Adrianna has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. It’s a full-circle moment to witness her commitment to service and to share this journey together,” Alan told Watch The Yard. “Our story is about family, legacy, and the power of representation to inspire others to make an impact.”

Adrianna Williams: A Rising Star in Public Service
Adrianna Williams is forging her own path as a dynamic leader in the Biden-Harris Administration. A proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. (Lambda Omega Chapter, Duke University), Adrianna served as Special Assistant for Briefings to U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm and later as Special Assistant in the Office of Congressional and Intergovernmental Affairs.

Before joining the administration, Adrianna made waves as the National Co-Chair for Black Students for Biden during the 2020 presidential campaign. She was also featured in a Biden-Harris campaign ad, where her story and passion for service inspired a new generation of leaders.
“I joined the Biden-Harris Administration because I believe in the transformative power of public service to create equity and progress. Being a Black woman in this historic administration is deeply significant, but serving alongside my father is also incredibly meaningful,” she told Watch The Yard. “My service in this administration is a reflection of the values he instilled in me and a reminder of the importance of representation, especially for young Black leaders.”
Alan and Adrianna’s presence in the Biden-Harris Administration underscores the importance of diversity and generational impact in leadership. As the only African American father-daughter duo in the administration, they represent the progress that can be achieved when families pass down the values of service, advocacy, and commitment to excellence.
Their story serves as a reminder that Black families play a crucial role in shaping the future of this nation. Representation matters not just for today but for generations to come.
The Intersection of Family, Legacy, and Greek Life
Both Alan and Adrianna credit their Greek-letter affiliations for shaping their leadership journeys. Alan’s involvement in Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., instilled in him the principles of achievement in every field of human endeavor, while Adrianna’s membership in Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., deepened her dedication to social action, advocacy, and service.

Their shared connection to the Divine Nine and their respective HBCU and university experiences underscore the transformative power of education and mentorship within the Black community.
We at Watch The Yard celebrate Alan and Adrianna Williams for their historic contributions to public service, their commitment to uplifting communities, and their embodiment of Black excellence. Together, they remind us that the power of family, legacy, and service can transform not just lives but the future of a nation.

In their roles, they exemplify the transformative impact of leadership and inspire us all to embrace the call to serve. Their journey is a testament to the power of perseverance, the importance of representation, and the enduring legacy of Black excellence in America.
