Golden Brooks (born 1 December 1970; age 53) is the actress who portrayed Alicia Travers in the Star Trek: Enterprise episodes "Storm Front" and "Storm Front, Part II". She is best known for her role as Maya Wilkes on another UPN series, Girlfriends, which ended in 2008 after eight seasons.

Brooks was previously a regular on the Showtime series Linc's from 1998 through 2000. In the latter year, she not only began starring in Girlfriends but also starred in the film Timecode opposite Star Trek: Deep Space Nine guest actor Steven Weber. The following year, she appeared in the science fiction film Imposter, along with Brian Brophy, Rosalind Chao, Maury Sterling, Tracey Walter, and Clarence Williams III. More recent films include 2005's Beauty Shop and 2006's Something New – both of which co-starred Star Trek: First Contact actress Alfre Woodard.

She has also made guest appearances on The Parkers, The Jamie Foxx Show, and Moesha. In addition to acting, Brooks tried her hand at both writing and directing on Girlfriends: she directed the 2006 episode "Hustle & Dough" and wrote 2007's "Snap Back".

In 2004, Brooks won a BET (Black Entertainment Television) Comedy Award as Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her performance on Girlfriends.
