Happy Black History Month, y'all! We hope all our Black creators out there are practicing self-care and celebrating the inspiration that is our history.
This week we are discussing Angela's newest picture book biography, To Boldly Go: How Nichelle Nichols and Star Trek Helped Advance Civil Rights. Listen as she shares all the incredible and impactful achievements that Ms. Nichols made and we don't talk nearly enough about; including a fateful meeting with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and how she diversified the NASA astronaut program in 1978. Talk about a hidden figure in plain sight!
