Michelle Moore Bell has dedicated over 40 years to helping women look and feel their best.
In 1994, she founded The Wellness Group, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization for breast health and overall health awareness, housed within her beauty and hair care salon, SALON 21. The Wellness Group aims to educate, inform, and empower women about breast health and a healthy lifestyle. Michelle is committed to making a meaningful impact on people's lives through this initiative.
Michelle is passionate about community service. She has volunteered her expertise and time to the American Cancer Society's Look Good Feel Better program, aiding women coping with chemotherapy side effects; the Susan G. Komen Los Angeles County Affiliate/Komen Circle of Promise campaign, encouraging African American women to prioritize their breast health; and as a mentor for the MOSTE program, Motivating Our Students Through Experience, and Tomorrow’s Entrepreneurs Today.
She has been a dedicated member of the West Angeles Church of God in Christ for 33 years, has served as a board member, and is actively engaged in various community and professional organizations.
Michelle's commitment to service has earned her widespread recognition and numerous awards from entities such as BMW, the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, NAWBO/The National Association of Women Business Owners-LA, ABWE/Association of Black Women Entrepreneurs, Kizure Products, AHBAI/American Health and Beauty Aids Institute, MOSTE, and the Los Angeles Spectrum International Beauty Expo, among others. She has been featured in Who's Who in Black Los Angeles and was included in an exhibit by photographer Valerie Goodloe showcasing African American leaders in Los Angeles.
Originally from Muncie, Indiana, Michelle moved to Los Angeles in 1978, where she met and later married Richard L. Bell. They shared a blissful marriage of 27 years until his passing in 2005.
