Bela Suresh Roongta – The Current Narrator


Bela Suresh Roongta is the founder and owner of Milwaukee-based boutique shop belabela. She is also a lawyer, advocate for domestic violence victims and published author. Her book “...fill in the beauty, a book for the storyteller and artist in all of us” captures her original drawings and the stories they tell. It is inspired by her love for the East-Indian art of henna and storytelling. In 2018-19 she was the Milwaukee Artist Resource Network (MARN) spoken word mentee and in 2016 she received the Special Recognition Governor’s Trailblazer Award for Women in Business. An immigrant, travel lover, business owner, lawyer-turned-artist and storyteller, Bela identifies with the Pfister’s history as a hotel built by immigrants living the American dream.

During her residency, Suresh Roongta will share her experiences at the hotel and interactions with guests on the blog and host a bi-monthly “Chai at The Pfister” series, henna in the lobby and journaling workshops.
