Dennis Stanley of Chantel's Cakes & Pastries in Sterling, VA has been creating items for those affected (and not affected) by food allergies for over 20 years with many heart-warming stories to tell. Clients have included Oprah Winfrey, President George W. Bush, and President Barack Obama's daughter, Sasha. (3:15) and (9:16)

"Alexandria Film Festival: Director Interview"
ReelFilmNews.com's Brandon Troy speaks with WBC World Middleweight boxing champion Tori Nelson and director Jeff Riegel at the 2012 Alexandria Film Festival.
Documentary filmmaker Jeff Riegel has been shadowing Ashburn mom and Women's International Boxing Association champion Tori "Sho Nuff" Nelson. Riegel's filming a documentary about the young mother who struggles to make ends meet in Loudoun County, but wants to raise her children here. She has at times worked three or four jobs while training.
"It's a testament to Tori and her character," Riegel said in an interview with ReelFilmNew.com's Brandon Troy, adding that women boxers do not get the recognition the United States that they do elsewhere. "We're trying to get Tori's name out there."
Nelson's hard work resulted in winning SIX WORLD TITLE belsts across three weight classes. Nelson said in the ReelFilm interview that women boxers fight an uphill battle. "In the United States, women don't get the backing and support the men get," she said. Women also have to continue caring for children, Nelson said. "We do all this training while we raise our kids."
