Reynolds Christian has a mother who did all she could to support his ambitions and endeavors. He was able to get the basics that he needed, having been in the world at the time when only the greatest software programs were the most expensive. This didn’t stop him but served rather as a push to be inventive. Christian was raised to believe in himself and that nothing could ever get in his way. When Christian received an idea of how to improve something, his powers of invention superseded what anyone could have ever foreseen. Reynolds would seem to be way ahead of his years with his extreme focus on how to mold and shape, and he always seemed to be far ahead of the world everyone else was stuck in. This focus kept him from being caught up in the usual path which was swallowing up so many of his peers.

Reynolds Christian was always home in front of his laptop, a Gateway, with a basic mouse which afforded him the luxury of reinventing himself before he even knew it. Reynolds was obsessed with improving the community around him, and it was this desire to see his own people in comfort, above what was expected of them that fueled the passion that made him create. Christian dibbled and dabbled in music, always being front and center and attracting people who loved who he was. People of all creeds, ages, and colors heard his flow, saw how he could move the crowd with his beats, and he soon developed into what they called Chef Ried. Still a nonviolent spirit, Chef Ried had discovered how transformative his music was when he met a challenged young man who was uncooperative during a time working with challenged youth in a treatment facility, and it wasn’t until he heard Chef Ried’s music that the young man, despite his previous overt disrespect of him, immediately asked him if he could bring him some of his music. This transformed Christian, and he soon got acknowledged as the chief counsel to regulate the population through a socioemotional show of empathy that none had ever seen before. His superiors saw his special bond with the most troubled, and they saw he was a transformative genius. After Chef Ried had conquered the power of mediation through music, he was immediately interested in finding other ways to save others with his gifts.

Reynolds knew that he wanted to design and create, and he chose to deal with his community from the revelation which allowed him to take his imagination with a flat, one-dimensional screen and mouse to heights it was not designed for. Reynolds Christian has always been a person whose power to invent was limitless. His innovative designing mind was played out from all of what his young mind had witnessed, and he knew he could improve it, despite the chaos of the world outside his window. Reynolds Christian was not like youth in his neighborhood because he was not enticed with the insecurities which had been birthed in so many young Black males in Boston. He knew he could create what his people needed; a change of their attire.

As a young man, he had a mother who always supported his artwork, his supplies, his goals, and spoke truth into his soul whenever he was given the next inkling of inspiration. Though they may not have been able to afford great tech equipment, the mind of invention was always there to show him a different avenue. Christian was always drawing and sketching out ideas which had never been heard of, or even seen because his heart remained centralized and unmoving when he got the whiff of how he could make a persons’ entire well-being better. The textures and fabrics he chose, the brightness of the colors, and the days on end he spent soon became his trademark. Chef Ried created his clothing line to show he could breathe life. He was rare, because not having what the world said he needed was in all actuality what gave him the ambition to create in it.

Reynolds Christian is a man who always chose to stay driven. Reynolds Christian did not have state of the art equipment, and because he was ingrained with the blessing to see one dimensional objects appear in three dimension, he would sit with just a mouse and computer laptop and meticulously cut, shape, fit, zipper, button, stitch in his mind’s eye for days which turned into weeks on end. Reynolds has a beautiful heart to help people to rise above their usual footgear. The shoes he made called the Cavi’s V1 sparked a flame across the circuits of young people who were eager to be the newest, the freshest, and the flyest. He knew his people were starving for love and he had the recipe.

Christian’s life journey through his understanding of what the world needed, could only be reinvented in his head and heart first. This amazing gift of design and craftmanship can only be described as a pure unadulterated blessing which the world was never ready for.
