I REMEMBER NICOLE 💟 Raising Awareness while Raising the Roof #DomesticViolence

Award Winning/Call to Action/Music Video  

Filmmakers: Two-Time Emmy Winner Renee Sotile & Mary jo Godges     


The inspiration for I Remember Nicole comes from Renee’s memories working in national news, covering the OJ Simpson Trial of the Century.     


American Idol singer Hollie Cavanagh and Melodye Perry (daughter of  Edna Wright and niece of Darlene Love, for music aficionados) bring a resonating voice to the voiceless. 


She will see herself in the hundreds of women who are standing strong. She will hear her life in the lyrics.  Our hope is that I Remember Nicole empowers her to find HER voice. 


I Remember Nicole is a metaphor for the highly publicized domestic violence story of Nicole Brown Simpson.


On October 3, 1995, OJ Simpson was acquitted of murder charges for the deaths, of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman. 


Working as a video-journalist, Renee Sotile covered the "Trial of the Century" and never forgot the impact Nicole Brown Simpson's death made on her. Imprinted in her mind are the shocked and heartbreaking expressions on the faces of Nicole's family. 


She and Mj Godges want the world to remember Nicole and all women who suffered and continue to suffer from domestic abuse.  


“LGBTQ members fall victim to domestic violence at equal or even higher rates compared to their heterosexual counterparts.”– NCADV

Message to Educators

Nicole Brown Simpson was a highly public women victimized by domestic violence. 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 OJ 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. This generation will ensure that there are #NoMoreNicoles in a call to action through this galvanizing song. One of the most effective communication tools to create awareness, spread knowledge and empower. 


This generation's strength at spreading positive messages is like no other. They are the generation that raises awareness across borders. They are the generation that challenges and knocks down boundaries. We have seen this generation create action calls that put an end to human rights violations. 


#IRememberNicole will empower this generation to raise awareness, change laws and prevent intimate partner violence on the national level.
