L’Oréal Paris Reveals Changemakers in the Women of Worth 2022 Class

The L'Oréal Paris Women of Worth 2022 honoree class is positively impacting the way we all live, think, grow, and care for ourselves and our communities. 

 

An award-winning civil rights advocate focused on mass incarceration, a first-generation American who built a nonprofit focused on arts-therapy, pioneers in youth services building foundations for equitable and inclusive literacy for children, a woman transforming physical spaces of children who’ve been abused — and many more.  

 

To elevate their exemplary initiatives to audiences across the nation, the 2022 honoree class will join a multifaceted alumnae network of 160 individuals, who champion a diverse range of causes. In recognition of their charitable work, each woman will receive $20,000 in funding to support their endeavors; mentorship from the L’Oréal Paris community; and the brand’s national platform to share their story and more.

 

Go to Women of Worth online during November, to read the stories of all 10 women, and vote to help name this year’s National Honoree, who will receive an additional $25,000 for their charity. Their stories will be elevated even further with a storytelling campaign highlighting each woman’s extraordinary journey and philanthropic achievements via Warner Bros. Discovery’s House of Max brand studio.
