"Kandayisms"- IN HER OWN WORDS
“I have 2 Choices In MY Life: To Make It—- or—— Make It!”
- Kandayia Reign-Ali
"I'M A REAL WOMAN- ALL WOMAN- DEFINITELY A BLESSING ON PURPOSE! I’M A MOTHER OF 5 WONDERFUL CHILDREN. I HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE CHOSEN FEW, WHO AFTER SURVIVING MANY BOUTS WITH LIFE, IS WILLING STAND BEFORE THE WORLD TODAY AS A LIVING, BREATHING TESTIMONY. I STAND AS A VICTOR OVER BEING A FORMER VICTIM OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND RAPE. I OVERCAME DIABETES AND HEART FAILURE AS WELL AS SEVERAL OTHER LIFE-CHALLENGING ROADBLOCKS. I'VE BEEN HOMELESS, FEELING THAT LIFE HAD GIVEN ME THE UTMOST OF BAD HANDS TO DEAL WITH. I LEARNED THAT THESE THINGS DIDN'T MAKE ME- ONLY HELPED TO MOLD ME INTO BEING A PERSON WHO "MADE LIFE HAPPEN, EVEN IN THE FACE OF DEATH." THESE WERE ALL SEEN AS "OPPORTUNITIES" TO STRENGTHEN MYSELF AND LEND SUPPORT TO THOSE WHO ARE SUPPORTERS OF HUMANITY AND POSITIVE ACTIONS.I GET UP EACH DAY WITH ALL LIFE-GIVING POSITIVES BEING MINE. YOU SHOULD TOO."
KANDAYIA The Artist
Kandayia Reign-Ali (Kanday Reign) is truly a CREATIVE force to be reckoned with! Highly skilled and detailed oriented, Kandayia brings forth poetic lyrics that have reached the hearts of many, and inspire the souls of those in need of uplifting. She was born to do this! “Art, Music, Literature and Love is what keeps me alive— I’m grateful to The Creator for giving me the talents I have, and I only choose to continue to grow stronger, and share what has been so graciously given to me.”
In the fall of 2006, Kandayia launched two eBooks containing some of her best poetry and inspirational quotes, The Art of Word Play Pt. 1 & 2.
I Am... "ART!"
Kandayia adopted the "I AM... Art" slogan in 2007, in order to showcase herself as a living work of art. From then on- she was well-known for her abstract and surreal digital art works. "This is what I want to do when I retire from everything I do. lol- just design art, and see my work showcased all over the world!"
MAKING HISTORY- “HER-STORY”
In Feb. 2010, Kandayia was chosen to wear the title as one of the many Black Women Making History by "Label Me Royalty". “This is truly an honor and it gives me more inspiration and energy to push forward to continue to make a difference in the world around me.” Kandayia has been in support of several non-profit organizations, both on a worldwide and small community based scale. Her life will soon be wrapped around philanthropic work in full support of the Victory Over Violence movement.
GIVING & LIVING
December of 2010, Kandayia transitioned to Florida - where she is currently setting up a foundation for community-based success. She also uses her expertise to assist small companies by incorporating work and business ethics training courses for locals who are interested in becoming more effective in any given area of professionalism.
Timeless Idols- Still Gaining More!
Kandayia has had the pleasure of meeting several music and entertainment pioneers; She brags about how she is in her “own world” most of the time, she channels her attention to music, art and literature she considers to be “TIMELESS”. She has been blessed to cross paths with artists such as Notorious BIG, Lil Kim, Junior Mafia, P. Diddy, Onyx, Busta’ Rhymes, Dwele, Brother J (X-CLAN), KRS1, TLC, Blacksheep, Jade, Digable Planets, Jon B, Silk, Patra, Heavy D, Ludacris and a host others.
HER CHARACTER HAS CONTENT…
Kandayia’s drive and determination to make an impact is a self-motivated reflex. “I don’t need anyone to ask me to do anything- all that is needed is for me to open up my eyes and SEE that ultimately a solution has to be created and implemented. That’s where I come in!”
"IT’S MY TIME… AND YOURS!”
Kandayia is a well-rounded and people oriented person, who doesn't mind putting in the extra time and effort to assist in the manifestation resulting in a positive outcome. Her goals and dreams as a community voice are coming to a demonstrative success. Her final adumbration is to develop a course which teaches those who are interested in learning about alternative medicine, essential oils, Ayurveda medicine, exercise diet and other naturally healthier ways of living.
