Strengthening Simone’s legacy. Feeling Good by Nina Simone

Nina Simone presents in association with Dove the new music video for “Feeling Good”, where strengthening Simone's legacy, the video represents generations of black joy and limitless self-expression. The music video released in 2021 aims to continue Simone's important legacy by telling a story of black female empowerment and rejecting imposed expectations.

The artist pushed boundaries and throughout her career, she encouraged empowered expressions of Black culture and beauty. Thanks to her success, she used her influence to fight for civil rights for African Americans, using her songs as a weapon to combat inequality. After Nina Simone's death in 2003, different actions like this video have kept her legacy as a civil rights defender very much alive.

The new video for “Feeling Good” by Nina Simone, introduces us to four generations of black women living their truths, loving each other and feeling good. The story presents a family with different perspectives on their life, highlighting those small moments in which these women feel fulfilled.

The video supports DOVE's "The CROWN Act" campaign, which seeks to end hair discrimination based on race. Hair bias and discrimination based on race remain a systemic problem in the U.S. workplace, disproportionately impacting the employment opportunities and career advancement that African American women deserve.
