It’s outrage because of the medium. While I support the sharing of all human stories, using a white woman as a conduit for what minorities go through everyday—transcending name discrimination—is troubling to say in the least.

Simone’s infectious smile made NNN a brighter place since her first day on the team. Her natural talent, curiosity and drive set her apart. And, most importantly, she was a loving friend.
Simone, we will miss you every day.
