MEET IMARI SIMPSON:
Rooted in Purpose. Built by the Journey.
Killeen, Texase is a huge part of Imari Simpson.
Raised a military brat, she experienced the world early, living in Korea, Germany, Kansas, North Carolina, and Texas. Every move shaped her adaptability. Every new city strengthened her resilience. But no matter where life took her, Killeen remained home.
At Killeen High School, Imari made her name competing in basketball and track & field, building a reputation for discipline, heart, and quiet determination. That work ethic earned her a basketball scholarship to Northwest College, where she competed for two years before finishing her collegiate career at Valdosta State University. The journey is about leadership, growth, and learning how to show up when it matters most.
Today, Simpson pours that same passion into the next generation at Weiss High School. As a health teacher, Varsity Assistant Basketball Coach, JV Coach, and Head Women’s Track Coach, she stands in front of young athlete's as proof of what’s possible.
She teaches discipline. She models integrity. She demands excellence.
And she leads with heart.
Her collaboration with PEGSTYLES is a natural extension of who she already is. In a world where negativity often dominates the spotlight, Imari chooses to represent purpose, growth, and positivity. For her, what you wear is a statement and she stands for confidence, character, and uplifting others.
Because for Imari Simpson, success is about who you’re becoming and who you’re helping rise along the way.
