Career

Smith started her career in 1989 as a freelance writer, columnist and critic in the San Francisco Bay Area at The San Francisco Bay Guardian[19] and The East Bay Express. From 1990 to 1991, she served as the music editor of SF Weekly. By 1992, Smith was freelancing as a reporter for Spin magazine, where she wrote a pop culture/music column called "Dreaming America".[20] In 1993, Smith moved to New York to become Rhythm and blues editor for Billboard magazine. At that time, she was also reviewing live shows and recorded music for The New York Times.[21]

In 1994, she became music editor of what was then Quincy Jones' new Vibe magazine. Two years later, Smith was awarded the National Arts Journalism Program fellowship at Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism. After her year in Evanston, Illinois, she was named editor-in-chief of Vibe in 1997.[22] In two years, Smith raised Vibe's circulation from 500,000 to 750,000+ readers. In 1999, she resigned and joined Time Inc. as an editor-at-large. There she consulted and wrote for magazines including Time, Entertainment Weekly and In Style.

Smith left Time Inc. in 2001 to pursue a Master of Fine Arts at the New School University, then published two novels and taught at the university level. Her first novel, More Like Wrestling (Crown, 2003), was drew critical praise: the New York Times Book Review called it "lyrical and original",[23] while the San Francisco Chronicle described it as "beautiful, and in its way, miraculous".[24] The Washington Post Book World said that Smith's "prose sings with precision".[25] During this period, Smith worked as a workshop leader at the Radcliffe Publishing Course in Cambridge, Massachusetts and served on the adjunct faculty of the Writing Program at the New School University. While working on her second novel, Bliss,[26] Smith was on the guest faculty at Saint Mary's College of California. Smith was also a writer-in-residence at Skidmore College.

In 2006, Smith returned to run Vibe Magazine, responsible for the digital as well as the paper platforms. Smith's cover profile of Keyshia Cole was featured in Da Capo Press's Best Music Writing 2008. After three years, Smith had a short stint at The Washington Post{{'}}s African-American political site, The Root, before returning to the music industry publication Billboard as editor. In 2012, she resigned to write a history of African-American women in pop music.[27] In 2015, HRDCVR[28] a hardcover culture magazine created by diverse teams for a diverse world founded by Smith and husband Elliott Wilson was released. In addition to HRDCVR, Smith and her husband began a podcast on iTunes called, Relationship Goals[29] in which they talk about pop culture, hip hop music and how they make their relationship work.

In 2016, Smith was named the culture editor[30] of ESPN's newest venture called, The Undefeated.
