"SHE WAS THERE..."
This book will transport you from Shankleville Freedom Colony in 1800's Texas to California. From a burning building in Watts to the set of Star Trek - this book will take you on Andreea's raw, almost brutally honest journey.
It's comedy and history, drama and politics, sex and drugs...
Strap yourself in, or "beam me up Andee", for one helluva story!
"A STORYTELLER LIKE NO OTHER"
@jessshteyman and I had the pleasure & honor of meeting Andreea Kindryd today. Andreea was Gene Coon's production assistant on the original#StarTrek.
She was one of the first two black staff members hired by a major television studio, and shared captivating stories from her time spent with not only the team behind #TOS, but also Harlan Ellison, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X.
Captivating, inspirational and hilarious.
The highlight of the day and a splendid way to celebrate
50 years of STAR TREK

Book 1
From Slavery
to
Star Trek
From Slavery to Star Trek is simply that.
Starting from the determination of two Slaves in love, it traces the path to a new homeland leaving a dead Klansman behind.
It demonstrates family loyalty and support, striving, and achieving.
What I saw when I was there working with Martin Luther King, hanging out with Malcolm X and...
Maulana Karenga, before the Watts Riot/Rebellion got me a job at Desilu Studios...
and a mini skirt got me a job on the original
Star Trek...
I guarantee this is the
Star Trek story you haven’t heard before,
and it tells the truth
about some of the
things you have heard.
