Jamila Simpson
  • I grew up in Statesville, North Carolina, in the western part of the state.
  • I met my spouse when we were both undergraduate students at NC State.
  • I am the first Black woman to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in meteorology from NC State.
  • I grew up reading comic books and still collect them. My favorite series is X-Men, and my favorite superhero is Storm. She controls the weather, and she’s an amazing leader.
  • My family and I are working on visiting every state in the country. We keep a family map and put pins in places we visit. So far, we’ve traveled up to Maine, and the furthest south we have gone is Key West, Florida.
