About Me


A mythical bird that never dies the phoenix flies far ahead to the front, always scanning the landscape and distant space. It has been said that the phoenix is steady and sure, virtuous and pure.

There are those of us to whom fire only means REBIRTH. We are borne of the fire and sometimes we live our whole lives of the fire. Yet out of the flames, we arise, emerging beautiful, glorious, strengthened and RENEWED as an example to others whose lives are going down in flames.

Reign is the “Phoenyx” born of the death and fire that consumed an old life once lived. The phoenix represents our capacity for vision, for collecting sensory information about our environment and the events unfolding within it. This mythical creature, with its great beauty, creates intense excitement and undying inspiration.

A gifted vocalist, spoken-word artist, writer and designer, Reign has been inspired to bring her love of the word, contemporary and urban art, nature, the richness of diverse cultures, and the heritage of the past into perfect synergy with her unique style. Her vocal ability has been compared to the likes of Rachel Ferrell, the late Phyllis Hyman, and other great soul singers. Unable to sing for most of her life, Reign has a God given voice that stirs the listener to the depth of their soul. Her writing falls nothing short of being an outpouring of her deepest life experiences. In addition to publishing an online magazine of her own, she is a member of the Black Men In America.com Team where she has a regular poetry page, and also writes two regular blogs on myspace. You can see her on stage at local venues across the DC Metro area, and she’s always available to help others find and utilize their gifts. From the story of her life to the richness of her voice, she is a testimony to God!

Reign is sure to ignite emotion in her listeners as she shares her life experiences. Her debut project "40 Dayz of Reign" is due in summer of 2008! Be sure to watch out for this emerging artist and entrepreneur as she shares her gifts with you!
