Ms. Starr inspires both young and old by the gift God has placed inside of her. As a professional social worker and full time mentor, she speaks to the wounded and hurt in order to be healed. Ms. Starr's passion lies within young ladies. Personal experiences have launched her the opportunity to move beyond those obstacles and realize anything is possible with Jesus. Realizing she had something to share since the age of 12, she recalls reciting original pieces for the people. Battling with doing what was right and choosing to do wrong, God allowed the enemy to take her through to have a message for others to hear. Her testimony is real and her life has become a message.
