We have lost another African American icon.
Barbara Elaine Smith (B. Smith) passed away on February 22, 2020 of early-onset Alzheimer's Disease.
B. Smith's name was synonymous with class, beauty, elegance, style. For me, long before Martha Stewart, there was B. Smith.
At only 70 years of age, she seemed far too young to pass away of a disease that impacts many people, and in disproportionate numbers, African Americans.
This might be a good time for those of us (including myself) who haven't done the work we should toward helping to fight this monster of a disease to get busy.
I can imagine she's hosting elegant parties in heaven.
With love and gratitude to B. Smith for all she symbolized and brought to the world.
