“We are fans too.”

Sistas Fran and Tamia sit down with legendary Star Trek designers Michael and Denise Okuda—the creative minds behind LCARS, iconic starship displays, and so much more. In this heartfelt conversation, the Okudas share how their love for Trek—and deep respect for its fans—inspired decades of groundbreaking design.
They’re not just part of Star Trek history—they’re fans too. And they’ve always wanted to get it right for the biggest Trekkies of all.

“Know Thyself…Love Thyself”

This week, the SyFy Sistas beam up a true legend of the Star Trek universe: actress and lifelong Trekker Ursaline Bryant, best known to fans as the trailblazing Captain Tryla Scott from Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Ms. Bryant doesn’t just join the conversation—she commands it. With the poise and power of a true Starfleet captain, she shares her journey through Hollywood, the importance of true representation, and what it meant to portray one of the youngest captains in Starfleet history.
The Sistas were all ears and all heart, soaking up wisdom like cadets in their first year at Starfleet Academy. This conversation is about truth-telling, self-reflection, and shining a light on the hidden histories that shaped her journey.
This episode is a classroom—and a mirror.

His extensive work with Shakespeare, including performances at the Stratford Festival of Canada, where he portrayed roles such as Prince Escalus in Romeo and Juliet and various characters in As You Like It
His role as an educator and mentor, shaping the next generation of performers
How Afrofuturism informs his worldview and creative work—blending history, imagination, and liberation

Conrad Coates is a storyteller, a leader, and a teacher who bridges worlds—from the 23rd century to the Elizabethan stage. This one’s for the thinkers, the dreamers, and the future-builders.

Soap Operas, Starships, and the Paris/Locarno Thing

The Sistas got to sit down with the one and only Robert Duncan McNeill.

Before he was flying through the Delta Quadrant as Lieutenant Tom Paris, Robbie was stirring up drama on the classic soap All My Children. We talk about his early days on daytime TV, how he found his true calling behind the camera, and his journey from actor to one of the most respected directors in the biz.
And yes, we had to ask about Tom Paris vs. Nick Locarno—and his answer? Let’s just say it gave us life!
We also geek out over his podcast The Delta Flyers with Garrett Wang, and how rewatching Voyager has given him a whole new appreciation for the show and the fans.
Grab your snacks and press play, fam.

🚨SPOILERS🚨

We are ALL Sinners

The SyFy Sistas are joined by the full crew from our SyFy Sistas Inc. YouTube channel, with special guests Tanya Scott-Thomas (Two Moons and a Microphone) and Derek Tyler Attico (Soul of the Story), for a celebration and deep-dive into Sinners, the genre-bending horror film from Ryan Coogler.
Set against the backdrop of Jim Crow Mississippi (1932), Sinners doesn’t just scare—it sings, it haunts, and it heals. Through blues, blood, and Black spirituality, this film reclaims horror to show the humanity of Black people with nuance, reverence, and power.
🔴 We honor the pain.

🔴 We celebrate the beauty.

🔴 We see the sacred in the terrifying.
This isn’t just a review—it’s a spiritual reckoning, a cinematic celebration, and a conversation you won’t forget.
