If she really has had dementia for 8 years, it's kind of shameful that whoever manages her was still trotting her out to Star Trek conventions as recently as July, 2019. https://www.indiewire.com/2020/08/nichelle-nichols-star-trek-legal-case-gofundme-1234581218/

She has officially retired from public life this weekend. They gave her a hero's farewell:
