In a powerful collaboration uniting the realms of art and global impact, Simmons was invited by the United Nations (UN / UNSDG5) to inspire change and ignite meaningful conversations through her work. “Women of Change” commissioned specifically for the partnership, served as a catalyst for raising awareness around global gender equality issues and the importance of collective action.

Simmons spoke at the United Nations when the edition was first released, where she emphasized the power of using art (a universal language) with the influence of the UN’s global platform to mobilize individuals and communities towards a more just and sustainable world.
