Born into the serene but confining arms of the rural South, Reggie Swade was the melody that stirred the still air of the countryside. His home was nestled between the whispering cornfields and the tall oaks that have stood witness to centuries of change. From a young age, Reggie knew he was different. His voice, a resonant and soulful instrument, became the vehicle through which he shared his story and connected with the world beyond the expansive fields of his upbringing.
