Early life

Reece was born in La Jolla, California as an only child to a mother from Long Island, New York, and an Afro-Trinidadian father - who died in a plane crash when she was five years old.Her height, 6'3", was inherited mostly from her mother. She was raised in Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, and she returned to the U.S. mainland for the eleventh grade.

Reece didn't take up sports until then (the 11th grade) when she and her mother moved to St.Petersburg, Florida. Many colleges started recruiting her due to her abilities in sports. She accepted a volleyball scholarship from the Florida State University, where she majored in communications, and in volleyball she led the league in kills four times and blocks once. In 1989, she moved to model in New York City. She returned to Florida for six weeks that summer to take classes, and then she returned to New York for more modeling. That August, she was back on campus at FSU for the season. That meant turning down $ five-figure jobs to earn All-Tournament honors several times in her collegiate career. In 1997, she was selected for induction into the Florida State University Athletic Hall of Fame. Reece set two school volleyball records in solo blocks (240) and total blocks (747). Both records still stand.
