Nell Merlino is a creative force who inspires women and girls, men and boys. Her groundbreaking work includes: Take Our Daughters to Work Day, YWCAWeek Without Violence, Count Me In for Women’s Economic Independence, Make Mine a Million $ Business Competitions. 

Nell mobilized over 25 million people to take girls’ ambition seriously and presented thousands of women with access to $billions to grow businesses. 

Nell’s latest project, Crown Quest is a continuation of her life’s work, designed to inspire women who are in life, leadership and relationship transitions. 

“Crown Quest grew out of my struggles with divorce, addiction and the collapse of a startup. I look forward to sharing what I have found is on the other side of my successes, failures and fears through the art we can create together.”
