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.

🕊️ Five years ago, we lost Gabby, the world lost Gabby. A daughter, a sister, a friend, but the light she brought into this world has never stopped shining.

😇 We remember her adventurous spirit, her creativity, her kindness, her beautiful smile, and the way she believed there was so much good in the world.

🕊️ Today, we ask you to honor Gabby by carrying that light forward.

☑️ Check on someone.
☑️ Learn the signs of abuse.
☑️ Speak up when something doesn’t feel right.
☑️ Believe survivors.
☑️ Help a family searching for someone they love.
☑️ Choose kindness, even when no one is watching.

One small act may feel insignificant, but it could change someone’s life.

💜 Gabby’s story began with her, but the change it inspires belongs to all of us. Let her light remind us that we each have the power to make this world safer, kinder, and more compassionate.

Five years without you. Forever loving you. Forever saying your name. Forever turning our love for you into purpose. 🤍 🦋

Today, we celebrate Women’s Equality Day and 106 years since the certification of the 19th Amendment on August 26, 1920.

The amendment represented a historic expansion of voting rights and a major victory for generations of women who organized, advocated, and demanded a voice in American democracy.

For Susan B. Anthony, that fight was rooted in a broader commitment to universal suffrage and equal citizenship. A vision in which political participation would not be limited by sex and all people could have a voice in the democracy that governed them. Though she did not live to see the 19th Amendment become part of the Constitution, the movement she helped build carried that vision forward.

More than a century later, we honor those who refused to accept inequality as inevitable and celebrate the progress their determination made possible. Let us carry that legacy forward as each new generation continues to expand the meaning of equality.
