It’s been a while, so the SyFy Sistas present our 12” Disco Version of Star Trek: The Cruise V.

This is our love letter to Royal Caribbean Cruises and Entertainment Cruise Productions, some of the hardest working people at sea. But we aren’t the only ones telling sea stories.

We taped a few of our new friends while on board for a real “And You Were There” feel.

The SyFy Sistas sit down with Dr. Crystal Fleming, a critical race sociologist, author of three books and an internationally recognized expert on racism and antiracism. Her work empowers people of all backgrounds to become change agents and dismantle white supremacy. Our conversation ranges from Black Respectability politics to the myth of Utopia in the Star Trek universe, to our deep love of Deep Space Nine and Captain Benjamin Lafayette Sisko.

Her books include:

  • Resurrecting Slavery: Racial Legacies and White Supremacy in France
  • How to Be Less Stupid About Race: On Racism, White Supremacy, and the Racial Divide
  • RISE UP! How You Can Join the Fight Against White Supremacy

The SyFy Sistas look at the special relationship Captain Jean-Luc Picard maintains with three amazing Black women; Guinan, the El-Aurian bartender from his days on the Enterprise-D, Lily Sloane from his temporal incursion in the film Star Trek: First Contact (1996), and Raffaela (Raffi) Musiker, XO during his command of the Romulan evacuation and later his quest companion in the series Picard.

These three women have the ear of the Captain of the Enterprise D and E, the flagship of the Federation fleet, the Chief Contact with the Q Continuum, the Arbiter of Succession for the Klingon Empire, the Savior of Earth from the Borg Invasion, the face of the United Federation of Planets, and a few other things that only Yvette calls him. Our discussion ranges from their conversational styles to our appreciation of the TWA over ugly-ass wigs. But wait until you hear what Fran saw coming that no other SyFy Sista did.

The Sistas welcomed the Founder & CEO of Taking Up Space, Czarina Salido, to the show.
