The Longevity Table
Michele Y. Smith convenes the leaders, frameworks, and conversations that transform how high-performing women executives think about longevity, power, and the decades ahead.
"Longevity is not a wellness trend. It is the most underutilized competitive advantage in the executive playbook."
Michele Y. Smith is the founder of Vivian Joseph Heritage House, convener of The Longevity Table, and creator of Where We Belong — the podcast where Black ambitious women take up every seat, dressed in nothing but their own legacy. Everything she builds is in service of one idea: that the women who figure out the long game will be the most formidable leaders of the next generation.
