Nichelle Nichols has inspired generations of people. She was a pioneer, a trailblazer, and a true icon. The Star Trek franchise has been my refuge from the difficulties of life. It is a place where intellect and talent are not targeted or hated, but celebrated and cherished. Nichelle Nichols was a huge part of a universe that has brought joy to so many people. She has helped save lives. She will be dearly missed by those of us who remain earthbound. Boldly go, Lieutenant Uhura. 🖖
