How to Help
empowering women, families, and youth-at-risk through improved literacy, increased positive media, and tools for living.
Every day, when we turn on our televisions, we are bombarded with heart-wrenching tales of violence, abuse and a host of other obstacles ...drug use, gang violence and unsafe sexual promiscuity threaten not only the future of our young people but the future of our workforce. Illiteracy costs American taxpayers $225 billion per year due to crime, loss of tax revenue due to unemployment, welfare, and government assistance with low literacy adding an additional $230 billion cost to healthcare delivery.
Now there is a way you can help.
The Be The Star You Are!® charitable Not-For-Profit corporation was created to promote, develop and distribute positive educational and inspirational media programs that empower youth at risk. We need your contributions to positively impact individuals facing significant life events as well as providing role models for youth and adults in similar situations. Join Cynthia Brian, and a host of other entertainers, professionals and your neighbors, in making a difference for our youth and citizens. Read 2015 Statistics
