“Last night, my mother, Nichelle Nichols, succumbed to natural causes and passed away. Her light however, like the ancient galaxies now being seen for the first time, will remain for us and future generations to enjoy, learn from, and draw inspiration. Hers was a life well lived and as such a model for us all." Statement from Nichols’ son, Kyle Johnson

We Are Scorpio (jessica Care Moore & Steffanie Christi'an) Share Video For Supa Dupa Star Feat. Talib Kweli

Jessica Care Moore and Steffanie Christi'an have joined to become We Are Scorpio, a powerful Black woman rock duo. The poet, who was the first to win amateur night at The Apollo, and the singer most recently heard on Inner City's last album, decided to revel in their astrological sun sign to make music together. "Supa Dupa Star" featuring Talib Kweli is the first single from their forthcoming album. They filmed the video in Puerto Rico and are seen having a good time as they tell the story of a rock star they knew before he became successful. Kweli's verses recant the rocker's lifestyle from his perspective and all the fun he's had being in the spotlight, and he even gives a shout-out to A Band Called Death, who is from Detroit like Moore and Christi'an. The album comes out next year and is also the 20th anniversary of Moore's Black Women Rock showcase.  "Supa Dupa Star" is fun but has an edge to let you know how serious they are about reclaiming the work of Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Big Mama Thornton, Tina Turner, Betty Davis, Nona Hendryx, Poly Styrene and Tina Marie Bell.
