So every day there’s still Black people achieving firsts in all segments of the industry. Why do you think the high fashion industry is so slow to change? And is there still more work to do?īevy: Well, I think that fashion is just a microcosm of what is going on in society. So if I don’t have anything to say about the music and I don’t have anything positive to say about him as a person, I won’t have people on the show.īGN: Recently Page Six reported the news about Beyonce appearing on the cover of Vogue and Tyler Mitchell was the first Black photographer, which is crazy. “Why are you a pedophile?” You know, I would just be lambasting him or talking about his alleged crimes. Kelly, because I’m not going to have him on my show, because it’s not a doctor’s show, so all I would ever be doing with R. Kelly was promoting some new music, and his team wanted me to be one of this stops, and I just said well, there’s nothing positive that I would have to say to R. It’s just kind of basically whatever in that moment I can talk about.īGN: Is there a topic that you won’t talk about?īevy: Well, I have the rule that unless I can be gracious to a guest, I don’t have them on. So we can range from politics to pop culture to fashion. Who doesn’t want to be their own boss? I mean, it’s on Radio Andy which is Andy Cohen’s station on Sirius, but Andy is very hands-off, so basically, I get to talk about whatever it is that I want to talk about on the show. How do you balance it all? And what do you enjoy doing the most out of all those different titles that you represent?īevy: I really enjoy my radio show the most, because it’s one, it’s called “Bevelations”.īevy: So there’s a really great kind of freedom in that, that it’s my show. So yeah, it’s a very democratic approach.īGN: And you’re involved and do so much, you’re a motivational speaker, a brand ambassador, and this great pop culture aficionado. And then if we’re excited about them we do them, and if we’re not as excited, then we don’t. And then we have morning meetings where we go over various topics and think of various stories that come up. So we take a lot of stories directly from the paper, because that’s a great source of content for the show. What are the criteria that you and your team use to select the best kind of topics to talk about on the show?īevy Smith: Well, it really has a lot to do with what a paper covers. There are so many hot topic stories that are out there.
And you are my source of entertainment news. Kelly.īGN: Thank you so much for taking the time to talk with Black Girl Nerds. She also shares how she will never do an interview with R.
