Follow Starr Coburn’s inspiring journey from author to advocate as she empowers the next generation at the Pretty Girl Summit Selfie Party.
Starr Coburn, born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, is an inspiring author and advocate for young girls. As the only girl among five boys, she grew up in a loving yet strict household. Her parents were go-getters, always encouraging her to pursue her dreams. Starr has authored numerous books, with “The Ironworker’s Wife: Real Men Have Hearts of Steel” being a notable work. This book, semi-autobiographical in nature, explores the challenges and rewards of being married to an ironworker. “The Ironworker’s Wife” resonates with many readers due to its relatable and heartfelt narrative, blending real-life experiences with fictional elements to create an engaging story.
Starr’s journey to becoming an author began in her quiet childhood, where she found solace in writing. She often wrote alternate endings to movies that captivated her, driven by a desire to see the story continue. In college, an English composition class further ignited her passion for writing, despite initial criticism of her grammar. Starr’s determination led her to hone her skills, and her husband’s encouragement and Facebook played a pivotal role in her development as a writer.
Now, Starr is channeling her experiences and wisdom into empowering young girls through her upcoming event, the “Pretty Girl Summit Selfie Party.” Scheduled for July 13th from 2 PM to 6 PM at Painted Visions Events in St. Louis, this summit is designed for girls aged 11 to 15. The event promises a day filled with fun and learning, including activities like nail painting, bracelet making, and girl talk. Starr aims to teach these young girls about self-love, setting standards, and understanding the true meaning of love.
Starr emphasizes the importance of self-value and empowerment, countering the superficial standards often perpetuated by social media. She wants the girls to realize that they don’t need validation from likes or external appearances to feel beautiful and worthy. The “Pretty Girl Summit Selfie Party” stems from her book, “Pretty Girl: Change The Way You See You,” which she wrote two years ago. The book and the event are part of her mission to help young girls see themselves differently and embrace their unique beauty and potential.
The event has garnered significant support, with sponsors like Painted Visions Events LLC, Rise Impact Inc., Glow by India Handcrafted Skin Care, and Truly Charm Waist Beads LLC- Melissa Rayford. Volunteers and donations have poured in, ensuring the summit’s success and providing essentials like feminine products, bracelets, and lotions for the attendees.
Starr’s goal is to address various issues affecting young girls, including bullying, domestic violence, and substance abuse. She believes that a strong sense of self-love and respect can help prevent these issues. By teaching girls to love and value themselves, Starr hopes to champion a generation of confident, empowered young women.
Reflecting on her legacy, Starr wishes to be remembered for encouraging and believing in others, leaving a lasting impact by pushing people to be their best. The “Pretty Girl Summit Selfie Party” is set to be a transformative event, empowering the next generation of young women to author their own positive stories.
