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

KWL Live Q&A – Exploring Romance Writing Tropes with Jennifer Hilt
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4hRNLhro-Q

MY COMMENTS
from tropus, latin for a turn
interesting , a cliche is a underdevelped trope
what is the most well known example of forced proximity Ms Hilt?
thank you Ms Hilt , sci fi , I remember farscape, stuck on a ship can be romantic
Her Book, the Trope Thesaurus [ https://www.kobo.com/ca/en/ebook/the-trope-thesaurus ] 
ms hilt, What trope in your reading experience is the hardest to utilize in romance? 
GOal/Motivation/conflict
if yu know anime, the love between vegeta and bulma in dragonballz is interesting asit grows with very little romantic interaction
is the happy indian a trope or a cliche, concerning monkey man film with patel, which i think is going against it 
your thoughts on 50 shades? 
I think a good movie example of love story that is not how people think romance is the film "random Hearts"
great point ms hilt
@Collean O'Brien like the old carnival thing with a hammer and knock up the hammer
good question Laura, too many tropes in one book 
thanks for saying that as a female writer/reader  said the same Jennifer, about the lead characters in 50 shades or twilight, 
@Collean O'Brien  do it for the covers as well, trope meter for covers
good point on speed of capitalization Ms Hilt 
Most authors don't but some do Collean , the key is to be honest about how you like to write, don't chase if you are not a writing runner @Collean O'Brien 
tolkien himself simply took time and bult his world over time 
@Collean O'Brien  I never think about a series, just the entire journey to the end. no matter the length. I don't like to extend story for the sake and that is a risk when you think of seires 
please defien alpha hole?
hahaha:) @Collean O'Brien  there are many types of women in this world:) 
do you like lone wolf and cub Mr Hilt?
MS Hilt, have you ever wrote a character with a trope you don't like?

MY COMMENT

love the school house rock shirt:) what is that on zenobia's shirt?

13:51 your black mama mindset is too strong:) it is 2024:) yes, zenobia , smile:) .. as black individuals acquire fortunates or more financially opulent lifestyle, will the black parental mold, born from the quarters of the enslaved, become similar to the white parental mold born from the house of the enslavers?

no soul food ending:)

you two really liked this film? was this the best film you guys saw from the past ten reviews?

the power of non advertising:) that is how gems get through

@Troy you reading anything from tananarive due?

Tananarive Due speech transcript, not perfect

-
Thank you so much to the LA times
-
the other nominees were incredible
to say this this is an honor is an understatement
back in 2014 I got a phone call from the florida state attorney's office
And learned that my great uncle robert stevens died in 1937 at a notorious - school for boys, a reformatory in florida
and after attending a meeting there with my father freedom rider john - due jr I knew I had to write about robert stevens
but i also knew that my story would need a different ending , and ghost
The novel took me seven years, to write, thank you so much to my husband Steven Barnes, I love you so much, also a great writer, for keeping me on the path, my editor-, my agent donald- , my father for helping me manage the jim crow judge's chamber, my sister joanna- , and my late mother patricia - due, for her courage as a civil rights activist. 
If I didn't know what should happen next in my book I just had to ask what would mom had done. There are countless robert- stevens in the world. And too few of them get a happy ending. so as we face the horrors in our world, in our cities, in gaza and elsewhere. And where there's true life racism , homophobia , islamaphobia, and antisemiticsm, let us honor the courage of young people as the primary creators of change throughout history and the lesson my mother taught me , activism takes many many forms, as the late octavia a butler said, the only lasting truth is change.
thank you very much

well done, thanks:) 

I asked there what I will ask here?

where is the website, who owns this?

I searched online and didn't find a website? how? 

@Chevdove and all others , let us make a list of all the black federal wide competitions in the usa, federal wide, I can't believe many exists 

@Milton   I put what I placed on your blog...

will you follow me on aalbc? 

Many artist found themselves adding a different aspect of their operations during the covid19. I admit I have been slow to embrace escapism but I didn't feel the same sense of loss during 2020-2022 as many others. 

Glad you are going in another path. 

On a literary note, when I think of "American Fiction" the film or the book it is from "Erasure" from percival e. I think a great contrast exist between writing in a new genre to placate to an old negative environment opposed to writing in a new genre to embrace a new positive aspect in one's environment.

good luck:) as always
