BELLA Magazine hosted an elegant and inspiring BELLA Bosses Brunch: Women of Influence Issue at the stunning Ellington, where we gathered to honor powerful women making an impact in their industries. A heartfelt thank you to Glenda Sansone, who not only co-hosted this special event but also welcomed us into The Ellington for a truly unforgettable afternoon tea experience.
The event celebrated an incredible group of BELLA Bosses, including Glenda Sansone, Cheldin Bartlatt Rumer, Georgia Galatoulas, Karen Diaz Meaike, Kim Baker, and Maneet Ahuja, each of whom received a beautifully framed acknowledgment of their influence and leadership. The room was filled with empowering conversations, laughter, and well-deserved recognition of these trailblazers who continue to inspire.
The day was captured beautifully by JMC Photobooths, ensuring every moment was preserved in style. DJ Spin Diesel curated a lively yet sophisticated soundtrack, while guests indulged in Whoopi Prosecco Mimosas, adding a sparkling touch to the celebration. Melderberry Sweets and Maggie Macarons provided exquisite treats, making the afternoon even sweeter.

This event was a testament to the strength of community, the importance of celebrating one another, and the power of women supporting women.
