"Bad Mamma Jamma": Nichelle Nichols


“I'm a fan of the fans. I love them. They're fabulous. I love being around them. I love their madness and their caring. I love watching them take off for a weekend, don the costumes, and become characters from the 23rd century and beyond.” Nichelle Nichols

This weeks Bad Mamma Jamma is Nichelle Nichols. She was born in the early 1930’s and I’d still wreck her. I have to admit that while I have watched some episodes of Star Trek I haven’t seen a shit ton of them. But even when I vaguely knew of the show as a child I saw this hot ass woman on the ship and wondered why she wasn’t being sexually harassed constantly. You all know what I’d do with my holodeck. This woman would be in her Uhura costume so much she wouldn’t even know who she really was anymore. Besides being the first Black actress to put her hands in the cement at the Mann’s Chinese Theater she also had the first on screen kiss between a Black woman and a White male. It was William Shatner and he will kiss and sleep with anything.
