Reid and her mother, Robyn Simpson, launched A Seed & Wings Productions, an independent multimedia production house rooted in narratives that forge multi-cultural conversations, entertain, educate, and uplift. Their desire is to create authentic storytelling that is impactful, honest, and reflects the perspectives of all people.

Reid will star in and produce Teyana Taylor’s directorial debut Get Lite for Paramount.

Reid created the brand ArashiBlu, which she continues to expand and now includes her philanthropic endeavor, ArashiBlu 1720. Reid launched ArashiBlu 1720 with the intent to advocate and support the next generation of creators by being of service to her community. 1720 ONE PARK AT A TIME is an initiative under ArashiBlu 1720 with the mission to restore parks and playgrounds in underprivileged neighborhoods across the country.
