FOUNDER - NGOZI BELL

Founding Women's History Month City Hall / Lehigh Valley 

The Women's History Month - Rising Together - annual event commemorates the National Women's History Month Celebration in March each year. Founded in 2018 by Ngozi Bell, it was launched and anchored by a core team of the Valley's most ardent advocates for progress and good (Loren, Kari, Deb, Cynthia, Tonya, Danielle, and Genie). Today, it is run by the Women's History Month Coalition (WHMC), a team that annually constitutes diverse women and girls to set the theme and agenda for that year's event.
