Hi Starr, how has your background shaped the person you are today?
I was raised and Born on West side of Atlanta Simpson rd and The Bluff. I came from a family who had the bare minimum. My Mother and Father worked hard for the things they had but as humans we all make mistakes. I learned from their mistakes. I always knew my name had meaning Starr…. I was constantly reminded Daily how important it was to make it
Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Career wise I am a Business owner. One Starr Management is an Accounting / Bookkeeping service I offer to other Business that are in need of any Financial assistant or Guidance with their Company. oi worked in Corporate America Over 10+ years in Hospitality. I was promoted to different positions and I was like a sponge. i was there to soak up any type of Knowledge. I took what I learned and applied it to my everyday life . until I landed the Prefect Career.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would be nothing without my Mother “Tony ” and My Father “Sanders” I grew on the west side of Atlanta, Ga. I had no idea why parents named me Starr., But I was reminded daily that I had to live up to my name. li was inspired by so many friends and family through out my community who said I have a voice. A voice , A message, A Gift to help others. I was always giving] advice and words of encouragement to other even when i needed to here the words myself. I started this Instagram Podcast called Starr With the Facts “. I was completed afraid of what others would think of me or negative comments. i was giving this big Oppo0rtunity form Inspired Images- Russell Tyson. We met and Everything was like Magic, He saw something that I didn’t see. I then did my first Live Taping at Chicago Ave Cage in Austell, Ga . This is when i knew this was what I was suppose to do. I knew exactly what my purpose was in life was. Now with My Mother Gaining her wings on June 4 2021 , I have to make my Name Count more than ever.
