Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this Fangirl?
Because I have been a Fangirl since I was 11yrs old. In all the chapters of my life SciFi has always been there. When I was a girl it was pretending to be Nurse Chapel from Star Trek. When I got older I would think of Uhura when someone told me that girl’s “couldn’t whatever” and I knew that they could. As an adult SciFi gathered friends to me. It was something that I shared with my Dad and it is something that I have shared and still do with my son. It is a part of me.
