February is here, and at Scene N Nerd, we’re taking this month to celebrate the incredible contributions of African-American actors, actresses, producers, directors, and creatives who have shaped the entertainment industry. Whether in front of the camera or behind the scenes, their work has left an undeniable impact on the movies and TV shows we love, especially in the genre space.
Throughout this month, each of our podcasts will highlight and honor these contributions. Whether it’s diving into the legacy of legendary filmmakers, recognizing rising stars, or revisiting iconic performances, we want to take the time to shine a spotlight on Black excellence in entertainment.
For Scene N Nerd Presents: Blerd Trek, we have something special planned. We will be exploring the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode “Far Beyond the Stars”, one of the most powerful episodes in Star Trek history. This episode not only offers a thought-provoking narrative within the Trek universe but also speaks volumes about real-world struggles, representation, and the importance of telling Black stories in science fiction. We’ll discuss its cultural significance, its impact on Star Trek fans, and how it continues to resonate today.
Join us as we celebrate Black History Month by honoring the trailblazers, visionaries, and storytellers who have enriched the world of sci-fi, fantasy, and pop culture. Be sure to tune in to our episodes, share your thoughts, and let’s keep the conversation going!
