According to Simi, she started the challenge to help women confront the things that have been said to demean them.
She said, "The reason many, many women are so strong today is that they've had to defy the things that were designed to make them weak. Stereotypes. Shame. Fear. Pain. Abuse.
"I respect the strength and courage it has taken many women in these past few days to be vulnerable enough to confront the things that people have said to them to poke at their insecurities and to demean them.
