    The shirt: Uhura Sisko Freeman Burnham

    Where to find it: This was only available at Star Trek Las Vegas 2024, but the SyFy Sistas have lots of other cool merch in their shop! The Sistas also mentioned on Bluesky that they’ll have the shirt I am wearing at Trek Long Island May 30 – June 1 due to popular demand, so if you will be there, pick one up!

    Why I love it: I love supporting the content creators I enjoy since I am a content creator myself, and naturally, I show my support by buying tees. My favorite SyFy Sistas content is their guest interviews. It’s obvious, even just through audio, that hosts and guests alike are having a good time during the show, which speaks volumes about the positive atmosphere they create. That, combined with thoughtful and engaging questions, make their interviews a fun listen. The Sistas also branch out beyond Trek, so if you are a sci-fi fan in general, give them a try if you haven’t already.

    The shirt: Trailblazer

    Where to find it: Walking Art Made By Malissa

    Why I love it: Lieutenant Uhura was indeed a trailblazer. She held an important job on the bridge of one of Starfleet’s most prized ships flying through space in a future where, as a black woman, she was treated as an equal and respected by her peers. That was unheard of in 1960s television…until Star Trek opened the door and Uhura walked through. Nichelle Nichols, who portrayed Uhura, was just as much of a legend. She played a prominent role in recruiting women and minority candidates to NASA in the 1970s and ’80s.

    Side note: Sorry, no photo of the tee I wore yesterday. I was tired, had a lot to do, and generally wasn’t up for it.
