The Chicago native eventually moved to Los Angeles, where she established her luxury shoe brand, Kendall Miles, in 2015. The Black-owned, woman-led company is rooted in the belief that Black women deserve luxury, too. Reynold's innovative designs are staples in the wardrobes of some of Hollywood's biggest celebrities, including Rihanna, Kehlani, Regina King, and Lupita N'yongo.
Reynolds visited ABC 7 to share the inspiring story of how she chased her dreams.
