About Me
Her work lives at the intersection of culture, identity, and lived experience, with bylines in Essence, Her Campus, and more. Starr writes explainers, interviews, and personal essays that aim to inform, entertain, and make readers feel seen — using a voice that’s self-aware, clear, and grounded.
She is currently building In Color (working title), an emerging Substack publication offering independent journalism through a Black girl’s lens. There, she explores motherhood, marriage, creativity, and the cultural moments shaping Black womanhood today. The project also marks a new shift in her writing — one that allows her to be as personal as she is public.
Starr is a new mom and a military kid–turned–military spouse—a path she still laughs about, even as she lives it. As she settles into Phoenix, she also begins to soft-launch her content creator era, sharing cozy glimpses of her writing life, bookish Black girl joy, and the quieter realities of young motherhood online. It’s early, intentional, and unfolding in real time.
If she wasn’t writing, she’d still be surrounded by stories — probably in a library somewhere, recommending romance novels to strangers.
“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”
