![]() Bevy Smith comes to us as Mutha (less Mother Goose and more FX’s Pose HBIC), Auntie, and Bestie (if you are over 35, she’s your cool friend). Bevy never advocates for us to take her path per se, but if you need encouragement to take that leap, I think that this is worth a read. Will she tell us who that record exec was that she ran into when her day job and nightlife intersected? What did Lil Brown Bev and Tupac discuss? Who was the LA rapper on New Year’s?!īevelations: Lessons from a Mutha, Auntie, Bestie is a recounting of her journey. She even admits that she’s holding out for the tell-all she’ll write when she’s in her nineties. She gives us enough stories to make us informed, yet few details leave us wanting more. In the book, Bevy recounts some of the moments of impact, moments of inspiration, humility, and perseverance. She left a life of comfort and certainty to take a chance at fulfilling her dream. She was jet-setting, rubbing elbows with the who’s-who, splurging on corporate expense accounts, and yet she wasn’t satisfied. She’d found success relatively early in her career, and she was going to walk away to find her purpose.īy all accounts, Bevy was living the life. She had reached a level that many people (read: I) aspire to. She left a prestigious job as luxury fashion ad sales exec for Rolling Stone and Vibe magazines. The first chapter opens with her deciding to make a career change to go find her purpose at 38. A personal ethos of mine is “Live a life worth living.” By reading Bevy’s first memoir (it won’t be her last…more on that later), I have come to think she shares this sentiment.
