Behind the story

Working as a video-journalist, Renee Sotile covered the O.J. Simpson “Trial of the Century” for over 100 days and never forgot the impact of Nicole & Ron Goldman’s murders, and how the domestic violence Nicole endured was all but lost in the circus of the case. Imprinted in Sotile’s mind are the shocked and heartbreaking expressions on the faces of their family members 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 put domestic violence in the national spotlight. By saying her name, hearing her name, people recall the impact her death had on them and our nation. A collective memory of  “where we were” when first hearing O.J. Simpson’s wife was murdered in 1994. We recall the scenes of the infamous bronco chase, his arrest, the “Trial of the Century,” and acquittal.
For the generations following Nicole Brown Simpson, her children’s generation and those after, we say her name “Nicole” as a metaphor for domestic violence. “Nicole” is them or someone they know.
I Remember Nicole is a powerful and effective communication tool to educate, create awareness, spread knowledge and empower. Together we change laws and minds.
