Jasmine Guy, Nichelle Nichols in LGBT film, Tru Loved

Written by ellenoir1 on
Ever been a "beard" or a "Katie Holmes" as its called in the "Tru Loved" trailer? I'm referring to acting as the girlfriend of a secretly gay man who wants to appear straight. That's the relationship between teenagers, Tru (Najarra Townsend) and Lodell (Matthew Thompson). She's the new girl at school with two moms AND two dads and he's the star football player who isn't ready to admit to anyone he's gay, including himself. Tru's lesbian moms (Alexandra Paul and Cynda Williams) are happy... Read Full Story

Trashy Retro Clip: Star Trek’s Uhura Is A Pimp

Written by seriouslymcmillan on
When you find something, do you get this warm feeling? Like, “WOW, I can’t believe I found this is. It’s my precious- All Mine!” Well, I have to say I felt that way when I found this “gawd-awful”, profane, disgusting yet funny, classic gem of a clip of Nichelle Nichols playing a Madame Pimp in the 1974 blaxploitation film, Truck Turner. It’s very intersting to me because: I really love film. I really love film. I really love film. So, to come across something from Nichelle... Read Full Story

The Young Turks Interview with Nichelle Nichols

Written by janiceremenez on
The fact that she's Nichelle Nichols, Lt. Uhura on the original Star Trek is enough for me to post this piece. But I'm also a fan of Cenk Uygur and The Young Turks. Not to mention the fact that Nichols is in a film called The Torturer which may cast an unfriendly light on former President George W. Bush. So this hit the trifecta for me. Enjoy. http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url;=example.com&title;=TITLE&bodytext;=DESCRIPTION&topic;=TOPIC Read Full Story

From:  kmareka.com
Admit it. There were times you wished you could be beamed up. (CNN) — Long before Dr. Mae Jemison became the first African-American woman in space as a crew member of space shuttle Endeavour, she was fascinated by science. These days, she’s passing that passion on through her foundation dedicated to what she calls “science literacy.” Growing up in Chicago, Jemison looked at the “Star Trek” character Lt.
