The Bay is mourning Oakland’s Kenzie Smith, Known community activist, and Co-founder of BBQ’n While Black, a movement created to resist racism and harassment to Black people at Lake Merrit in Oakland, which has since made Lake Merrit an attraction once again for outdoor concerts, events, and vending for Everyone. Thank you for your contributions to our community.
Sending our deepest condolences and love to his family and friends.
Rest Easy King 👑 💜🕊️
Smith helped galvanize a conversation about racial justice by resisting “BBQ Becky." His brother, rapper Mistah F.A.B., shared the news of his passing.
