The world has lost a legend, an inspiration. She was a trailblazer, bucking against segregation, and even showing that women can be successful in science fiction. She was an inspiration to me.
Nichelle Nichols, you were my inspiration. You showed me that women can be successful in science fiction. While I cannot say what comes next, please rest knowing that your mortal star will continue to shine bright in this realm and inspire generations to come. May you take your place amongst the stars above.
