I’m happy and excited to be speaking about a series that informed my life really heavily, gave me a love of science and showed me that a black woman could be more than a side character when I was a child.
The event is sold out, so I hope you got a ticket! I’ll be talking about Trek with Michi Trota, Matt Peters who I’m proud to be on the Board of the Chicago Nerd Social Club with, and Mary Anne Mohanraj at the Adler Planetarium, and we’ll Boldy Go on Thursday, September 15th
