The First Black Female Captain of Star Trek to lead a series. She is not the first to be present. The first female captain + black female captain was played by Madge Sinclair in Star Trek 4 , the voyage home.

from Charles Jeff Wade My cousin, Sylvia Moy. She saved Stevie Wonders career writing songs for The Key of Life Album. Berry Gordy was going to Dump Stevie when his voice changed from the Boy Wonder to Maturing Young Man. Stevie spoke at her funeral crediting her for Saving him. Sylvia Moy - 1939-2017 Prolific Motown Records producer and songwriter. Wrote over 180 songs, with Grammy nominations, 20 BMI Awards Biography Moy grew up on the northeast side of Detroit with her eight brothers and sisters, performing on pots and pans to keep themselves busy and musical. Once she reached school, she played jazz and classical, but found her true place behind the scenes at Motown Records.The first woman at the Detroit-based music label to write and produce for Motown acts, she is probably best known for her songs written with and for Stevie Wonder. According to Berry Gordy’s autobiography To Be Loved, Moy was directly responsible for the label keeping Stevie Wonder. Gordy wrote that, after Stevie’s voice began to change as a result of puberty, he was going to drop him from the label. It was then that Moy went to Gordy and asked “if she could come up with a hit for Stevie would he reconsider;” he agreed. Her first writing success came with “Uptight (Everything’s Alright),” which she co-wrote with fellow SHOF inductee, Henry “Hank” Cosby, after hearing Wonder improvising on piano. Moy wrote lyrics to the song, which she conveyed to Wonder by singing into his headphones one line ahead as he recorded. In 2006, when Moy was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, Wonder made a surprise appearance at the ceremony to perform “Uptight” for his former collaborator.Among the subsequent hit singles Moy wrote and/or produced while at Motown were Stevie Wonder’s “My Cherie Amour,” “I Was Made to Love Her,” and “Never Had a Dream Come True;” and “Honey Chile” and “Love Bug Leave My Heart Alone” by Martha and the Vandellas. She also co-wrote “This Old Heart of Mine (Is Weak for You)” with Holland-Dozier-Holland for the Isley Brothers; and “It Takes Two” with William “Mickey” Stevenson for Marvin Gaye and Kim Weston. She was the first female to have the title of “record producer” at the label, and one of the busiest and well-known songwriters of the time.Moy went on to write the theme songs for many television shows and movies and eventually earned six Grammy nominations and 20 BMI awards. She made a solid investment in the future of the arts when she co-founded the Center for Creative Communications, also known as “Masterworks,” which trains young adults in the field of telecommunications and media arts.Moy died of complications from pneumonia in Dearborn, Michigan, at the age of 78. my favorite black female written song is man in the mirror

another negative image for me, an artist paints the picture of tv father's throughout his life. I love my father, he is a king for me and his wife, my mother. I never cared for nor needed a tv black father, and to be blunt , I find tv black father's all poor in many ways.

MY REPLY I want to say, in my home , I was always supported growing up, I still am now. My parents , both , came to all my poetry shows, painting shows. Uncles/aunts/friends of the family all supported me, never said ,i can't do or won't do or some negative else. I know I am being very personal or selfish, but not all creatives were told by numerous people "to be realistic" which is really not about realism but about financial prudence. In the USA this stems from the financial reality of fiscal capitalism. 99% of all artists don't find adequate financial revenue through art, common knowledge, thus the "get real" speech. And in the black populace in the usa, being an artist is 99.99% financially incapable of adequate revenue earning. I was supported by those in my home or my clan or in school. And I am black and went to schools with mostly black teachers til college. And I admit I went to college through federal money, never any debt. I just have to say, not all creatives have the personal history of the naysayed artist the turbulent. My only negative in my art life is I haven't reached the commercial quality I will like but I am getting there. I can only hope that I can find the kind of community I was born in , cause sadly, the community I was born in doesn't exist anymore. And I will like to raise a child in a community like the one I was raised in which doesn't exist in the usa anymore. THE CLICHE I don't know the author but I had to reply
