Star Parker is the founder and president of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education (CURE), a Washington D.C. public policy institute that fights poverty and restores dignity through messages of faith, freedom and personal responsibility. Star is a nationally syndicated columnist and hosts a weekly television news show, CURE America. Guests include members of Congress, administration officials and public opinion leaders around the country.

With first-hand experience in the grip of welfare dependency, a Christian conversion changed Star’s life. She began consulting with federal and state legislators on market-based strategies to fight poverty, including federal Welfare Reform, successfully passing life-changing legislation in the mid-90’s. CURE’s clergy program, a national network of more than 500 clergy, works directly with pastors to turn lives around.

In 2020, Star was appointed by President Donald Trump to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights California Advisory Committee. She was appointed in 2018 by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to the U.S. Frederick Douglass Bicentennial Commission. In 2017, Star joined the White House Opportunity Initiative advisory team to share ideas on how to best fix our nation’s most distressed zip codes.

Star holds a bachelor’s degree in Marketing and International Business from Woodbury University and has received numerous awards and commendations for her work on public policy issues, including CPAC’s “Ronald Reagan Foot Soldier of the Year,” the Groundswell “Impact” award, and Bott Radio Network’s “Queen Esther” award. In 1996, she was a featured speaker at the Republican National Convention.

Star has spoken on more than 225 college campuses, including Harvard, Berkeley, Emory, Liberty, Franciscan, UCLA and University of Virginia. She is a regular commentator on national television and radio networks and the author of four books: Necessary Noise: How Donald Trump Inflames the Culture War and Why This Is Good News for America (2019); Uncle Sam’s Plantation: How Big Government Enslaves America’s Poor and What We Can Do About It (2003/2012), White Ghetto: How Middle-Class America Reflects Inner City Decay (2006), Pimps, Whores and Welfare Brats: From Welfare Cheat to Conservative Messenger (1997).
