Quintessential Harlem girl, Gracie Award winner, and life-long New Yorker Bevy Smith is the host of Sirius XM’s “Bevelations” on Radio Andy. Once a wildly successful luxury fashion publishing exec, Bevy shifted her professional goals over a decade ago to pursue a life in front of the camera. A pop culture aficionado and fashion expert, Bevy served as moderator of Bravo TV’s revolutionary “Fashion Queens," and was a former co-host on the nationally syndicated “Page Six TV.” Bevy continues to be part of “The Wendy Williams Show’s Style Squad.” In 2020 Bevy received a Gracie Award for Outstanding Talk Show [Radio - Nationally Syndicated Commercial]. Smith’s debut book “Bevelations: Lessons from a Mutha, Auntie, Bestie” which details her transition from a fashion advertising executive into a media personality was published through Andy Cohen Books, the new eponymous imprint at Henry Holt and Company in 2021. For the past seven years, Bevy has hosted “Fashion for Action,” an annual fundraiser for Housing Works, a New York-based thrift store chain and advocacy group that helps find appropriate housing for people living with HIV and AIDS. In 2017, Smith was named Community Champion of AIDS Organization Harlem United. Additionally, Bevy is on the board of Cool Culture, a charity devoted to raising awareness among underprivileged children. Bevy is also both a formal and informal mentor to many, she takes great pride in her community of Harlem.

6 years ago I hosted a manifesting workshop that I titled "Life With Vision" An amazing young woman attended and enjoyed connecting with other guests as well as hearing my story of how I changed my life. Last year for the launch of my book, "Bevelations - Lessons From A Mutha, Auntie, Bestie", I hosted another "Life With Vision" event and she came back. She mentioned that she was now working for Ted and that my workshop was a Ted Talk. She connected me with the Ted powers that be and voila, I'm a Ted Talk speaker.
