Our Story
Welcome to Reignbow Journey
Created with love by a grandmother and granddaughter.
Reignbow Journey began with something simple: conversations between a grandmother and her granddaughter.
I'm Ama, and one of the greatest joys of my life is being a grandmother.
As Aniya began growing from a little girl into a young lady, I found myself thinking about all the things I wanted her to know, not just the things she would learn in school, but the things that help shape who a girl becomes.
- How to know her worth.
- How to understand her emotions.
- How to choose good friendships.
- How to be kind without allowing others to take advantage of her kindness.
- How to have manners and carry herself with confidence.
- How to calm herself when life feels overwhelming.
- How to talk about the things that may be uncomfortable to say out loud.
- How to dream about her future while still enjoying the girl she is today.
And most importantly, I wanted her to know that she would always have someone she could talk to.
But I didn't want Reignbow Journey to be something I simply created for Aniya.
I wanted to create it with her.
So we began talking.
I brought the perspective of a grandmother who has lived through many seasons of life, raised a family, made mistakes, learned lessons, experienced joy and disappointment, and understands how quickly a little girl grows up.
Aniya brought something equally important: the perspective of a girl who is living this journey right now. Her thoughts. Her questions. Her generation. Her experiences. Her voice.
Together, those two perspectives became Reignbow Journey.
From Our Journey to Yours
Reignbow Journey is a space for girls ages 10-15 to slow down and discover more about themselves while strengthening the relationships with the people who love them.
Through journaling, gratitude, meditation, prayer, calming exercises, life lessons, Mother and Daughter Talks, Father and Daughter experiences, and meaningful activities, girls are encouraged to explore their emotions, character, relationships, dreams, and the young women they are becoming.
Because growing up isn't one straight path. There are beautiful days. Confusing days. Exciting days. Hard days. Days when she feels confident. And days when she needs someone to remind her just how special she is.
That's why we chose the name Reignbow Journey.
A rainbow isn't made of just one color. And neither is growing up.
Every experience adds another color to her story: the laughter, the questions, the lessons, the mistakes, the friendships, the dreams, the tears, the courage, and the love.
They all belong.
A Note From Ama
Aniya, someday you will be grown. You'll have your own experiences, make your own decisions, and create a life that belongs completely to you.
I won't always be able to walk every road beside you.
But there are things I hope you carry with you wherever life takes you:
- Know who you are.
- Know your worth.
- Protect your peace.
- Be kind.
- Ask questions.
- Make mistakes and learn from them.
- Choose people who respect you.
- Never be afraid to begin again.
- And always know that you are deeply loved.
Reignbow Journey is one of the ways I can leave those reminders with you.
And somewhere, another mother, father, grandmother, grandfather, or caregiver may be searching for a way to have these same conversations with a girl they love.
So we decided to share our journey with them, too.
From one grandmother and granddaughter to another family, welcome to Reignbow Journey.
Her feelings. Her voice. Her growth. Her journey.
With love,
Ama & Aniya
