Rapper and actor LL Cool J has been in the entertainment business since 1984 with a string of hits, awards, movies, TV shows and more under his belt. Many people can recite some of his lyrics and lines, awards and maybe even his favorite workout or foods, but most don’t know much about his, Simone Smith. With the launch of her jewelry line called SIS (Simone I. Smith) Jewelry, this mother of four is an entrepreneur and a survivor.

In 2004, Simone was diagnosed with a rare type of bone cancer called chondrosarcoma.  After her stage III diagnosis, the family, especially Mr. “Cool J” himself, stopped everything in order to be with her and to assist her on the road to recovery.

In her own words, Simone says“I was absolutely devastated. I probably cried for about 10 days on and off because I didn’t believe this was happening to me.”
