This essay uses autoethnography and performative writing to explore the role Captain Benjamin Sisko of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine has played in my life as a fatherless daughter. I ruminate on specific moments of the show and Sisko’s fatherhood, at times rewriting my own fragmented and painful histories with my “father.” This allows for spaces of agency and possibility for me as a Chicana fatherless daughter. Furthermore, this essay offers us a space to consider the role of popular culture and para-social relationships not only in autoethnography, but for healing interpersonal hurts
