About B. Smith: Restaurateur, magazine publisher, celebrity chef, and nationally known lifestyle maven, B. Smith now has a tag she never expected to add to that string: Alzheimer's patient.
She has been heralded by The New York Times as \u201ca Renaissance woman,\u201d by television anchor Chuck Scarborough as a \u201cdomestic goddess,\u201d by The New York Daily News as \u201cone of the most important African-American style mavens of all time,\u201d and honored with a 2012 Silver Spoon Award for sterling performance by Food Arts. A broadcast talent, entrepreneurial spokesperson and multiple award-winning recipient across a wide range of fields, Smith also earned kudos when she returned to the stage in her Off-Broadway debut in \u201cLove, Loss, and What I Wore,\u201d the award-winning play by Nora and Delia Ephron. In 2012, Smith was inducted into the American Chef Corps, part of the U.S. Department of State\u2019s newly-formed Diplomatic Culinary Partnership with the James Beard Foundation. Until recently, she ran three B. Smith restaurants: on Theatre Row in Manhattan; Sag Harbor, NY; and Washington DC. But then her life changed. In 2013, at the age of 64, B. Smith was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer\u2019s Disease. Since then, she and her husband Dan Gasby have worked tirelessly to raise awareness of the disease and its effects on the African-American community in particular. Their book, Before I Forget, interweaves their narrative with practical and helpful advice. Readers learn about dealing with the day-to-day challenges: the family realities and tensions and ways of coping. They also learn about research that may lead to treatment in the next few years.

Groundbreaking Fashion Model

A native of Pennsylvania, Smith began her career as a fashion model, gracing the covers of 15 magazines and becoming the first African-American woman on Mademoiselle\u2019s cover in July 1976. In addition to TV commercials for Mercedes-Benz, she has served as a spokesperson for Verizon, Colgate Palmolive Oxy and McCormick\u2019s Lawry seasonings products.

For nearly a decade, Smith hosted the nationally syndicated/cable television show \u201cB. Smith with Style\u201d that aired on NBC stations in more than 90% of U.S. households and in 40 countries. Her effervescent personality and creative ideas continue to impact national audiences via her appearances on programs such as \u201cGood Morning America\u201d and \u201cThe Today Show.\u201d She and Gasby have also produced four specials for TV One, the lifestyle cable network for African-Americans.

Transcultural Lifestyle Pioneer

Smith is at the forefront of a transcultural movement. Her flair for d\xe9cor, demonstrated in the ambiance of her restaurants, led to the development of her first home collection, which debuted at Bed Bath & Beyond in 2001. The B. Smith with Style Home Collection is the first line from an African-American woman to be sold at a nationwide retailer and includes bedding, tabletop and bath products.
From duvets to doormats, Smith\u2019s d\xe9cor line continues to grow with a variety of pieces for entertaining and home and incorporates her signature \u201cAfrasian\u201d design concept, which merges core African and Asian elements.

Distinguished Author

Smith has authored three home entertaining books: B. Smith\u2019s Entertaining and Cooking for Friends (Artisan Press), the first tabletop entertainment and lifestyle book by an African American; B. Smith: Rituals and Celebration (Random House), a James Beard Foundation Award nominee, one of Food & Wine magazine\u2019s best cookbooks of 1999 and an American Library Association Black Caucus Literary Award winner; and B. Smith Cooks Southern-Style (Simon and Schuster), with 200 recipes and flavorful tips for reducing calories. Her latest book, with husband Dan Gasby and Vanity Fair contributing editor Michael Shnayerson, is the story of her fight with Alzheimer\u2019s. \u201cBefore I Forget\u201d (Harmony Books) was published January 2016.
