On February 22, 2020, we lost B. Smith (Barbara Elaine Smith 1949-2020) to early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. The author of three lifestyle-cookbooks, B. Smith was a wife, stepmother, former model, actress, singer, restauranteur, TV host, entrepreneur and lifestyle brand. She took to another level the time-honored domestic work that Black women have done from their beginnings in this country, bringing her art and style of homemaking and entertaining to a mass audience, and making us particularly proud in the process. We loved eating at her restaurants. We loved seeing her on television and magazine covers. We love, respect, honor and remember you – Ms. B. Smith – and want nothing more for you than to rest in peace, power and paradise!
