The workshop will be led by Diana Bell, an award-winning licensed social worker from Wheeling. Bell has served as a community activist and advocate for social justice for more than 20 years. Her background includes service on more than 30 different education and community boards or panels. Among her current responsibilities, she serves as the racial justice director for the Young Women's Christian Association in Wheeling and a human rights commissioner for the city of Wheeling.
