Nichelle Nichols was famously cast in 1966 as Lieutenant Uhura in Star Trek: The Original Series, becoming one of the first Black women to hold a leading, non-stereotypical role on American television.

Then along comes Whoopi... not arranged by a top Hollywood agent, not a strategic career move, a genuine desire to work with the man who was philosophically aligned with her own values.

The Result?

An EGOT winning actor that elevated the entire series, not just with her talents, but with the collaboration of Gene's vision, created a female character that can rival Q, knows when someone needs a hand or a push and is a "keeper" of knowledge, with the wisdom of knowing how much to dispense at each moment, a feature we have not seen in any TV show until that point.

Good morning beautiful people 🖖

There is no more powerful way to bring the ideals of Star Trek and the Federation alive than to live a life dedicated to service.

I'm honored to be among a group of change makers, imagineers, and professionals who are bridging the divide between fiction and fact with acts of random kindness and senseless beauty.

2026 is a year of ship building, community building, and world building. I look forward to getting to know all of you in time and am excited about what we can accomplish as we trek a bright future together.
