There is nothing more powerful or magical than blazing a trail and changing the world. San Diego Comic Con 2017, I got to speak on women in geek spaces then got to meet Nichelle Nichols, a true legend. May your spirit continue to drive us to boldly go where we have never gone before. 🖖

When I became a 911 dispatcher 12 years ago her way of speaking was my template for radio communication. It’s important to get that even, clear, middle tone so you don’t sound pitchy and she helped me do that.

I listened to a few of her interviews over the years – she was a great woman.

1. This is an amazing photo. I love it so much. You both look amazing, and I am so happy you had the opportunity to meet and connect with such an amazing person.
2. Nichelle Nichols was one of the first tv women who showed me it was possible to be feminine and a badass. She helped me become who I am today.

I met her at a Comic Con in San Diego probably 15 years ago. She was so kind and patient with us nerds. A legendary woman.

You’re both awesome, and make me feel more accepted and valid as a nerdy woman. Representation and role models mean so much!

Missed but not forgotten, rest in power queen of witches

She was always so beautiful. Now she can go wherever she wants. At one with the universe.
