Behind the story

As a video journalist, Renee Sotile covered the O.J. Simpson “Trial of the Century” for over 100 days, never forgetting the impact of Nicole Brown Simpson’s and Ron Goldman’s murders. Amid the media frenzy, the domestic violence Nicole endured was nearly lost in the circus surrounding the case. What remains imprinted in Sotile’s memory are the shocked, heartbreaking expressions on the faces of their family members—moments she witnessed firsthand.

“I Remember Nicole is absolutely beautiful and breathtaking! It brought tears to my eyes, my sister Denise, our Mother, and I know to Nicole in Heaven.”
– Huge Hugs, Tanya Brown, Nicole’s Sister

Message to Educators

Nicole Brown Simpson’s murder brought the issue of domestic violence into the national spotlight. Saying her name brings back the profound impact her death had on each of us and on our nation—a collective memory of “where we were” upon first hearing that O.J. Simpson’s wife had been murdered in 1994. We recall the scenes of the infamous Bronco chase, his arrest, the “Trial of the Century,” and the eventual acquittal.

For the generations that followed, including her children’s generation, “Nicole” has become a metaphor for domestic violence—a reminder of themselves or someone they know.

“I Remember Nicole” serves as a powerful communication tool to educate, raise awareness, spread knowledge, and empower. Together, we change laws, perspectives, and lives.
