HI, I’M SIMONE | JOURNALIST + HOST + SPEAKER
You’ve seen me on the TODAY Show, Access Hollywood, MSNBC, MTV, Nightly News and more. Click the video on the right to see what I mean.




CELEBRITY INTERVIEWS
As a journalist thriving in the intersection of culture and politics, I’ve gotten to interview inspiring artists, filmmakers and culture shapers.

About Me
WHO IS SIMONE?
Maybe you’ve seen me covering a protest on MSNBC or interviewing newsmakers for The Today Show. Or perhaps you’ve journeyed into the field with me through one of my documentaries on NBC News Now, a new streaming network. I’m just glad we’re connected! I’m here to question. To probe. To help us navigate tough conversations with dignity, truth and honesty. I believe the best stories challenge us to leave our biases at the door and climb into someone else’s shoes for a moment. Black conservatives. New Mexico ranchers. LGBTQ activists. Puerto Rico’s independentistas. I’m scouring the human experience to find those universal truths that supersede party affiliation, geographic location or generational differences.
This “versatile journalist” is one of “12 TV pros to keep an eye on in the year to come.”

REPORTING ON THE BORDER
Apprehensions along the U.S. border in the El Paso sector are at a 10 year high. What do ranchers see as a solution?
SPOTLIGHT ON ALEXIS OHANIAN
Alexis Ohanian, once called “the Mayor of the Internet” since he co-founded Reddit, is taking his entrepreneurial drive to innovate what he considers an untapped market.


YOUNG, BLACK & CONSERVATIVE
President Trump’s approval rating among African Americans hovers around 14 percent — but there are a number of black conservatives who support him.
SPEAKING
Looking for a moderator? Keynote speaker? I love that stuff. I’ve hosted live conversations with actress Viola Davis, panels at SXSW and moderated a healthcare debate between Senator Barbara Boxer and former Speaker Newt Gingrich.
