“Until the lion learns how to write, every story will glorify the hunter.”
Meet Simone
I’m a Story teller, Poet, Legal Studies major and justice-seeker who turned my past into purpose.
A survivor of a system that was never meant to heal but to harm.
I know firsthand that the justice system isn’t broken; it’s functioning exactly as it was designed:
to profit off pain, silence the unheard, and keep power in the hands of the few. This blog blends lived experience with legal insight and it’s only the beginning.
