I grew up watching you on Star Trek, and your groundbreaking portrayal of Lt. Uhura. Intelligent, strong, graceful, and beautiful. A full-fledged member of the USS Enterprise! It meant the world to me. I met you once. I was a child & I cried because I was in awe of you. You hugged me & told me I was beautiful. I will never forget your kindness, grace and courage. May you continue to explore the stars indefinitely…

LLAP,

Kelly
