Meet Tampa Bay's Miss Juneteenth

The Tampa Bay Juneteenth Coalition has crowned Tatiana Bell as Miss Juneteenth Tampa 2021. Tatiana, a Senior Honor student at Tampa Bay Technical High School is the captain of their dance team the Dancing Gems.

As Miss Juneteenth, she was awarded a laptop computer and a one thousand dollar check to be used toward her business or college education. This young intellectual beauty will represent Tampa this fall at the National Miss Juneteenth pageant, in Oklahoma. Tatiana is the daughter of Tshacha & Kiana Romeo, Terran Bell, Sr. & Amy Jimenez.
