And that soil, if fertilized strategically, will be pivotal to our development. Knowing that no matter how good or bad our backstory, it’s the soil that roots us. What does that mean? It means we have to be intentional and strategic about who we are, what we want, and where we’re going. But that seed will only become a tree and then a forest if we plant it properly, nurture it, and prune it when necessary. If there’s anything that I can leave you with, it’s this, we all have a seed of greatness inside. She’s been a commentator for Page Six, a red carpet correspondent for several major events, a television personality, a radio talk show host, and now an author and actress. And in her own words, “it’s Bevy Smith, the actress that I’m most excited about.” It seems as if Bevy is continuing to unveil elements of herself that we, the public, never knew. Even acting, which was a life-long dream of hers. She’s traveling, writing books, speaking. In our conversation, Bevy was adamant about how she’s embarking upon opportunities in her 50’s that some would say are for individuals in their 20’s or 30’s. She believes wholeheartedly that anyone anywhere can achieve the goals and dreams they wish to achieve no matter their age. Lastly, I learned that it gets greater later. And yet still, she maintains a solid and healthy connection with her city, which is admirable. Rubbed shoulders with the rich and famous. She has traveled the world several times over. Some tend to dismiss their history and shy away from the place and people that reared them. And for that reason, people respect not only who she is but where she comes from. Even if it’s the corporate suites of high-end fashion houses worldwide, she shows up as a proud, brilliant black beautiful woman from Harlem. Bevy is from Harlem, New York, and is proud to represent Harlem in the world. I also learned that we can achieve the heights of success and still maintain a healthy connection with the place from which we come. Rather than letting people place you where they want or think you should be, it is a necessary quality that Bevy has mastered. Putting thought and intention into how you navigate your life and career. I said to myself this is a message every woman needs to hear. As I listened to the details of her story. She was and still is intentional about who she is. And even more so when she decided to take her career into her own hands and build what we now know as the Bevy Smith brand. Bevy was strategic about every move she made. So, what did I learn from her? I learned if we are going to be successful, we must be strategic. Needless to say, my conversation with Bevy was insightful and enjoyable. That drive led her to where she is today-a notable name amongst many of your favorites in entertainment. She wanted to take her gift from behind the scenes to the forefront as an actress, commentator, and show host. A purpose that was bigger than the executive suites of Paris. But this time, she wanted to make it happen for herself. She was the one that made things happen for everyone else’s brand. She worked with several noted high-end fashion houses and many entertainment celebrities.

Her passion for life and success-driven nature took her from the heights of the fashion industry into entertainment. And quickly became a sought-after expert for several popular brands. She worked her way up the corporate ladder as a Fashion industry executive. After that day, honey, all that drinking and visiting the Smittys - that’s what I call them, the Smittys - I’m usually able to wind down really quickly.Bevy Smith was born in Harlem, New York, as Beverly Smith. And though I’m not a churchgoer, I do have a day of gratitude, and it culminates when I go and see my parents. I still have my parents at the age I am, and they’re still in relatively good health. My dad is 92, and my mom is 89.īLESSED Just seeing them puts me in a really great sense of gratitude, because I’m like, wow, look at how blessed I am.

We’ll laugh and watch the bad movie and maybe some TV. We’ll watch a really bad movie that I would never watch on my own. Or if my mother doesn’t feel like cooking, I’ll go to Sylvia’s and buy dinner and bring it up to her. I might bring them a coconut pineapple cake from Sylvia’s or some sweet potato pie. TAKE THE CAKE I like to bring them treats.
