Raven Dauda is wonderful.

I first saw her work in Annedroids when w watched it with our kids.

It was a Canadian middle school kids television show originally made for TVO, and distributed outside Canada on Amazon Prime.

Annedroids was a live action STEM show that included so much representation while telling a great science fiction story about a gifted girl, the androids she built, & the friends she made and included in her projects. Gender, race, body conformity, nonbinary all calmly woven in.

Raven played the mum of the boy who was part of the trio of main character kids. She was strong and smart and provided representation in that role.

I later found out that she has an active theatre career. She won a national award for her one woman show ‘Addiction’ that was informed by her own experience and recovery.

(TV Ontario, our provincial public broadcaster has a major finder of high quality kids programming, much of which gets to the US on PBS or Nickelodeon.)

Can’t resist adding some great production stills and behind-the-scenes shots of #RavenDauda as #DrTracyPollard in #StarTrekDiscovery.

I found Dr Pollard intriguing for her commitment to stay on as an (energetic) emergency physician through the #Discovery’s journey forward to the future.
