Nina Simone through all odds stood for strength, belief, and love for self. Internal struggle and growth.

Highlighting the brilliance and resilience of legendary musician and activist Nina Simone:

The incomparable Nina Simone channeled both classical virtuosity and soulful Black expression into trailblazing music that gave voice to the trials of African American life in the 1960s. Enduring racism and sexism within classical music’s elite circles after a promising start, Simone forged her own jazz-folk path infused with fiery passion. Her singular style showcased technical mastery honed as a child prodigy while unpacking civil rights turmoil swirling around her with courageous honesty in songs like “Mississippi Goddam.” Beside friends like Lorraine Hansberry and James Baldwin, Simone carried messages of Black pride and empowerment globally through relentless touring. Though battling discrimination’s personal wounds and later illness, Simone’s relentless creativity produced iconic anthems punctuating the rhythms of protest and joy. With unrelenting pride in her artistic brilliance, Nina Simone herself became an enduring anthem for surmounting barriers to inspire future generations.
