It stood for more than just looking cute. It was for the people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A fashionista since elementary school, Smith was taught to sew at the age of eight by her mother, a multitalented entrepreneur. Smith attended Oakland public schools — Skyline for high school and Montera for junior high — but it was her experience in elementary school, at Redwood Heights, that laid the foundation for her future. “That’s when I realized that I wanted to get into fashion,” Smith says. “I would draw little clothes and dress up my dolls.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13955082\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1545px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13955082\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Jendayi.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1545\" height=\"2492\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Jendayi.jpeg 1545w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Jendayi-800x1290.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Jendayi-1020x1645.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Jendayi-160x258.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Jendayi-768x1239.jpeg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Jendayi-952x1536.jpeg 952w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Jendayi-1270x2048.jpeg 1270w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1545px) 100vw, 1545px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jendayi Smith as a toddler. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Jendayi Smith)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Now 40, Smith sports a forest green blazer, tan sweater, striped scarf and fly earrings as she tells me via video chat that she’s always styled her own clothes.
