From 4th grade through High School, Smith was a visual arts student, winning multiple awards for her eye including winning the statewide NAACP Act So award for photography and the statewide Scholastics Congressional award for drawing and was flown to the Capitol in D.C. where her work was displayed. After coming out to her father as a teen, Smith was kicked out of her house and was taken in by a church member. After graduating High School, Smith used the last of her money on a one-way bus ticket to New York City. She then began singing in the subway where she was first discovered and offered a publishing deal from Sony ATV.

And eventually after running out of money and options, she knew she had to move on from the life she once knew. The silver lining came with the creation of Kokomo City which has breathed new life into her. She devoted almost 3 years to it while crashing on different friends’ couches. All the while diving into the lives of four trans women who had a story to tell. Smith was over the moon to receive the call that Kokomo City was to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival.

She holds a BA in Literature from the University of California, Santa Cruz, where she wrote her senior thesis on Horror Film, using a feminist lens to explore the queer signifiers of canonized monsters throughout film history.

As seen with the praise Love You Forever has received from film festival audiences in 2021, she is pushing the discourse around trans representation beyond assimilationist conjectures and bringing power back into the hands of queers, where we can celebrate the beauty within the ugliness we’ve experienced from our struggles.
