MESSAGE:

 

I had the honor of being Nichelle’s escort for the weekend at a small SF convention 30 years ago. She was so friendly and gracious with everyone, and she took some personal time to make me feel special & appreciated for volunteering. At the time SF fandom was still only for nerds, & actors weren’t well known for taking on social causes, but Nichelle demonstrated how much representation can matter, & the influence SF can have to improve our entire community. I will miss what she brought to us.
