Star Trek Day is today, and we wanted to shout-out the amazing people of this fandom. From every cosplayer we have seen to any Trek celebrity we've met, we can't think of a single #Trekker who hasn't been passionate or nice. Thanks to all of you, and LLAP!

[FUN FACT] Nichelle Nichols originally auditioned for the role of Spock on Star Trek. When Gene Roddenberry and the producers of Star Trek asked Nichols to audition, the role of Lieutenant Uhura hadn’t even been thought of yet; Roddenberry just knew he wanted her on the show. So, they had Nichelle learn the lines for Spock. Obviously, she nailed it.

#RIP to Nichelle Nichols, an icon, an incredible performer, a champion for civil rights. Without you who knows if there would be space for others who look like us in nerd spaces, you will be missed❤️ #nichellenichols #startrek https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgsa6bYPqcN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Farewell to Nichelle Nichols. She and the rest of the Star Trek crew taught me what it meant to be human. As a kid, I didn’t realize how progressive that idea was, but it influenced the rest of my life. I don’t draw that many characters from popular culture, but this image is one I had it in my head to make for a long time. Lt. Uhura is also one of the crew of space explorers to be found investigating my basement. Nichelle had some struggles at the end of her life, and my heart goes out to her family. I just want to say thanks for the inspiration and for being such a beautiful icon of the past, and the infinite future.🖤🖤🖤 @nichellenicholsofficial #nichelle #nichellenichols #uhura #ltuhura #lieutenantuhura #tribble #tribbles #troublewithtribbles #space #spaceexplorer #icon #thefuture #thepast #communicationsofficer #communication #communications #communicationskills #blm #art #illustration #scifi #strongwomen #womenofthefuture #womanofthefuture #sexyspacewoman #spacewoman #startrek #startrektos #blackwoman #ebonymagazine https://www.instagram.com/p/CguhiKePFm1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
