About Black & White Agency
Our Story: Three Generations of Trust

Insurance is in our DNA. Led by mother-daughter duo Shanna Powell and Taylor Vela, our agency represents a third-generation legacy of industry expertise. We combine decades of institutional knowledge with a modern, heart-centered approach to coverage.


Shanna Powell | District Manager/Owner & Head of Commercial Lines

With over 30 years of service in the Lakewood area, Shanna is a pillar of the local insurance landscape. A proud Colorado native, Shanna views her life as a vibrant tapestry woven with love, purpose, and joy. Driven by 25 years of marriage, two daughters, and the joy of being a grandmother, she understands that life’s greatest blessings deserve the best protection.


Taylor Vela | Co-Owner & Head of Personal Lines

Taylor brings a dynamic leadership style to the agency. As a wife and dedicated mother of two, Taylor knows that "family means the world." Having spent over 8 years working alongside her mother, she now leads our Personal Lines Department, mentoring her peers and ensuring our team stays at the forefront of the industry.
