#6: What if your family recipe could shake up the retail industry?
That’s exactly what happened when the founders of Bell’s Reines turned their food blog into a cookie brand that’s now making waves in stores. But behind every perfectly baked batch is a deeper story, one of legacy, grief, sisterhood, and the grind of building something from nothing.
In this episode, you’ll hear how mother-daughter duo Teneisha Thompson and Angel Thompson-Cephas went from baking at home to navigating gatekeepers, pitching to buyers, and learning how to scale a product-based business without losing the soul of their story. This is about more than cookies — it’s about reclaiming space, honoring family, and building generational wealth one small win at a time.
If you've ever had a dream you weren't sure the industry would make room for, this conversation will move you and make you believe again.
