VASHTIE

BEVY SMITH is a legend. seriously. if you don’t know her, please google. she’s most recently known for orchestrating dinners that help connect like-minded professionals. on MAY 1st, she hosted a dinner for RENAISSANCE WOMEN with BELVEDERE (maceration is natural)…including, supermodel LIYA KEBEDE, ESTELLE, MIMI VALDES and more. also on the bill…the youngest of them all – MOI! i’m still shocked i was invited to attend the dinner and not asked to wash the dishes 🙂

thanks to BEVY. she’s an inspiring woman who has really carved her own lane in this world! and also, the food was spectacular.

*LIYA KEBEDE, center. in 1999, we were in the same ENGLISH CLASS at THE SCHOOL OF VISUAL ARTS. this was before she was as big as she is now, but she was just as flawless then. i remember being so stunned by her presence, just look at her. i was re-introduced to her at the dinner and told her we had a class together, but she didn’t remember me and then i felt like a loser – haha.
