HERstory Award presented by Hollywood NOW

A t this event, Hollywood NOW will honor Yola Dore for her achievements and dedication as an advocate for the rights of people with disAbilities in the West Hollywood and greater Los Angeles community.

Yola's advocacy journey spans more than 30 years. In the 1980s, she came from New Orleans to Southern California to become the Public Relations Manager for Epi-Hab LA, a nonprofit that employed persons with disAbilities, veterans, and minorities and also trained them to re-enter the workforce.

Shortly thereafter, she was appointed by former Mayor Tom Bradley to the Los Angeles DisAbilities Board, where she lobbied for civil rights, disAbility rights, and more. Many in the West Hollywood community know Yola as a member of the DisAbilities Advisory Board and an active representative of the disAbilities community.

Join us in recognizing Yola for giving a strong voice to the needs of people who are often overlooked.

This event is co-sponsored by the City of West Hollywood's Women's Advisory Board and is part of the City's calendar of events for 2025 Women's History Month.

Refreshments will be served prior to the program. There is no charge to attend this event.
