Ron Simons is a three-time Tony Award-winning producer, four-time Sundance Film Festival selected producer and actor of stage, film and television. Ron is also the Founder and CEO of SimonSays Entertainment.
SimonSays is a film, broadway and recently television production company that he founded in 2009. His motto is “Tell Every Story” and it was founded specifically to create works telling the stories that are often omitted by Hollywood, and tell the stories of underrepresented communities. These may be people of color, the disabled, the LGBTQIA, seniors, and women.
Ron joined me to share his very personal and very touching story of being a caregiver for his mother for nearly 30 years. His mother, diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease was a proud, independent woman who looked on the bright side of life until this awful illness took a toll on her. Being an only child and long-distance caregiver was a role that Ron took on lovingly, but also was extremely challenging.
Despite his very busy schedule, Ron took time to share his story, so that other caregivers will know they are not alone and find hope in his journey.
