We're Honored! A Sweet Milestone for Bell's Reines
We have some incredibly exciting news to share! Our founder, Teneisha Bell-Thompson, has been featured in the inaugural "Dynamic Women of Washington" publication from DC Magazine. This recognition is a tremendous honor and a beautiful testament to the journey we've all been on together.
For 30 years, Teneisha dedicated her career to public service. She founded Bell's Reines with a deeply personal mission: to honor the legacy of her late father, Thomas Roosevelt Bell, Jr., and share the love, hospitality, and delicious treats he cherished. Her business is built on the same principles that guided her government career—performance, value, and rigorous attention to detail.
This feature shines a light on how our mission has come to life. Thanks to your support, our products are now carried in prestigious locations, including the Smithsonian Museums and the Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe. The article also highlights the innovation led by our co-founder, Angel Thompson-Cephas, a chemical engineer and chemist, who helps us create wholesome foods that blend science with the art of baking.
More than anything, this honor celebrates the heart of our company: our commitment to community. We are proud that DC Magazine recognized our work with women's shelters and our partnership with Enitor, a local nonprofit.
This milestone belongs to our customers just as much as it does to us. Thank you for being a part of our story and for your unwavering support. We invite you to read the full feature in DC Magazine and learn more about the legacy we're building.
