We celebrate the life of Nichelle Nichols, Star Trek actor, trailblazer, and role model, who symbolized to so many what was possible. She partnered with us to recruit some of the first women and minority astronauts, and inspired generations to reach for the stars.

Gender diversity on boards is critical, with strong evidence on the positive impact it has on growth and performance.

Las personas #LGBTIQ+ se enfrentan a niveles desproporcionados de rechazo, acoso, desamparo y restricciones. En #IDAHOT, espero un mundo en el que se incluya a todos y todas, donde se respeten sus derechos, donde puedan ser auténticos, sin importar quiénes sean o a quiénes amen.

It’s not enough to pray for peace of mind, we have to examine what’s disturbing us and eliminate it. In the same way, just wishing to be well won’t cure physical illness; you have to adopt the preventive measures and take the prescribed medicine.

Speaking a second language less well than your first supplies a useful practice: it is a constant exercise in humility https://t.co/3XmIDVSQd0
