A lifelong Star Trek fan, she was inspired by Nichelle Nichols' character Lt. Nyota Uhura to pursue a career in space. LeVar Burton invited her to guest on TNG, and Nichelle Nichols visited her on set. 🖖🏾🚀✨

So the haters are already starting upset that a Klingon warrior is wearing a skirt. Well wait till they find out how Viking men dressed when they went into battle. Wonder if they think of them as "woke" fandompulse.substack.com/p/new-york-c...

New York Comic-Con Unveils Male Klingon Wearing A Skirt For Star Trek: Starfleet Academy

Star Trek may not have had its wokest moment yet under Alex Kurtzman.

Hey Trekkies 👉🏿 Happy birthday to Clint Howard, who made his Star Trek debut at age 7 in "The Corbomite Maneuver." Decades later, he appeared on Deep Space Nine, Enterprise, and then decades after that, Discovery and Strange New Worlds.

A bowl sitting on a glass table outside in the garden with some backdrop of green and brown leaves. Inside the bowl it is half filled with a tofu scramble, with green onions, red and yellow peppers. There are four slices of heirloom tomato with salt and pepper and a piece of Multigrain toast with vegan butter cut in half.

Today's Collection: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. This series had SO MANY great supporting characters, & so many didn't get a figure in this line. No Ezri Dax? No Kai Winn? No Weyoun, Brunt? No Cassidy Yates or Female Changeling? A crime! I'm glad for what we did get, though. 😊
