Nichelle Nichols Foundation

Influenced and inspired by the profound impact of Nichelle Nichols on the world and future of spaceflight, the Nichelle Nichols Foundation seeks to continue that legacy and serve women and BIPOC (Blacks, Indigenous, People of Color) communities in their educational path to fields within STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math). 

Education is the gateway to dreams, and our young people are our future. With Nichelle Nichols as our guiding star, we continue the mission to make an impact in young people’s lives and create a path for STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) related education and careers. The Nichelle Nichols Foundation (NNF) will advance her dream to inspire future generations who will shape our world in the image of Star Trek and its “Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations” (IDIC) philosophy: a world that is diverse, kind, and peaceful.
