Simone is an author, activist, business owner, and motivational speaker dedicated to empowering women and disrupting systems that perpetuate inequality. Inspired by her personal struggles with child support collection, she became a recognized expert, testified before Congress, and built a fintech company to help others navigate the process. Her company, Athena (formerly Don’t Get Mad Get Paid), has achieved an 87% success rate, collecting nearly $15 million in owed child support. Focused on supporting women and underserved communities, Simone is transforming a broken system into one that works for those who need it most.
