Councilman Roderick Smith is a lifelong resident of Columbus, Mississippi, deeply rooted in the community and surrounded by public service throughout his life. He is the son of William (Renee) Smith and Latounya Smith. His grandfather, the late Charlie Smith, made history as the first Black constable in Lowndes County, while his grandmother, the late Sara Deloach, was a well-known advocate for assisting the elderly and those with limited mobility and disabilities with being able to exercise their fundamental right to vote.

Roderick is happily married to Avisha Shelton-Smith, and together they are proud parents of five children: Avianne Shelton, Armoni Brewer, Evalyn Smith, Bryson Smith, and Ariana Smith. Family is at the heart of his life, and he deeply cherishes the legacy and memories of his loved ones.

Beyond his commitment to family and public service, Roderick serves as the associate minister at Northside M.B. Church in Columbus. A man of faith and purpose, he is devoted to uplifting his congregation and making a meaningful difference in the lives of those around him.
