“This box is very special,” explained Simone, who will first appear on a Wheaties box in June 2022. “It’s a little deeper dive into what I love and why I do what I do. the things I do.”
She continued, “As a young woman growing up in foster care, I always wanted to make an impact, but I didn’t know how influential or big I could be just by speaking up.”
And by sharing his own journey, the athlete hopes to “make a big impact on kids like, ‘Wow, look. how far Simone has come. Look at the work he’s doing.'”
As Simone quipped, “How much more impact would it have if it was on a Wheaties box?”
