    I learned a few years ago that Nichelle played an important role helping to drive recruitment for #NASA in the years after playing #Uhura in #StarTrek.
    She recruited #Sally Ride, #ColonelBluford & the first black female astronaut, #MaeJemison.
    Here's the story, as told in this fun Drunk History video. Narrated by comedian Ashley Nicole Black with Raven-Symoné as #NichelleNichols

    It reminds me of the power of black women & #ScienceFiction.

  12. In #StarTrekV: The Final Frontier, the late great Nichelle Nichols played Uhura in a scene of her doing a fan dance while singing a song. All her fans knew that she sang and was thrilled to learn that Uhura would be singing in the film, but unfortunately, it was dubbed over, despite initially being promised to be her voice.

    In the latest episode of #StrangeNewWorlds, #SubspaceRhapsody, Uhura, and by extension, Nichols, is vindicated by Celia Rose Gooding performing the best numbers.
