Stay Informed! Stay Aware!
Thank you to our partners and supporters for your support, which allows The Wellness Group to empower women.
21st Annual Breast & Whole Health Awareness Breakfast Forum
Michelle Moore Bell brings over 40 years of helping women look good and feel good.
In 1994, Michelle established The Wellness Group, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit breast and whole health awareness organization inside her beauty & hair care salon, SALON 21. The Wellness Group was created to educate, inform and empower women on breast health awareness and a healthy lifestyle. Michelle is passionate about providing a place that have a significant impact on people’s lives.
Michelle loves giving back to her community. In serving others, she has volunteered her time, skills and talent to the American Cancer Society (ACS) Look Good Feel Better program to help women with issues related to chemotherapy; and the Susan G. Komen Los Angeles County Affiliate/Komen Circle of Promise campaign to help empower African American women to be proactive about their breast health; and as a mentor for the MOSTE program, Motivating Our Students Through Experience and Tomorrow’s Entrepreneurs Today.
Currently, she is a 33-year active and faithful member at West Angeles Church of God in Christ and past board member. She is currently involved with several community organizations and professional organizations.
Michelle has been widely recognized and honored for her dedication, leadership, creativity, and commitment in serving others. Her award recognition includes: 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; Motivating Our Students Through Experience (MOSTE); and the Los Angeles Spectrum International Beauty Expo to name a few. She was highlighted in Who's Who in Black Los Angeles. Photographer Valerie Goodloe featured Michelle in an exhibit of African American leaders of Los Angeles.
She was born and raised in Muncie, Indiana. She relocated to Los Angeles in 1978, and met and later married Richard L. Bell. They had a wonderful and joyful 27-year union, before his heavenly transition in 2005.
Michelle is extremely passionate about the Wellness Group's breast health / breast cancer programs because there are no known ways to prevent breast cancer, however, education, early detection through self-care examination, clinical breast examination and mammography are ways to reduce mortality.
On Saturday, September 30, 2023, the Wellness Group kicked-off Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
The Wellness Group - Breast Health Awareness empowered women on breast health, breast cancer, mental health and heart health with moderator Rhonda E. Smith, ED of CA Black Health Network, and health experts Dr. Renee M. Poole, MD, MMM, CPE, FAAFP; and Arnedra Jordan, MPH, Health Equity Advocate/Project Manage-Black Women for Wellness.
It was a morning of health awareness empowerment, sisterhood, creating new relationships and fun with the photo op wall, snap picture booth and our favorite caricature artist, Mario.
We are grateful to our sponsors, partners, supporters and volunteers for making this health forum possible.
Thank you to Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Mu Lambda Omega for hosting the check-in and registration. Dr. Ashley Wiley Johnson for introducing our founder and Gwendolyn Scott Goodman of BWN for providing the invocation and setting the atmosphere.
