Star Parker Biography

After Star’s first-hand experience in the grip of welfare dependency, a Christian conversion changed her life. She started a business in Los Angeles and began her activism. She began consulting with federal and state legislators on market-based strategies to fight poverty, including federal welfare reforms that passed in the mid-90s. She founded CURE in 1995 to bring new ideas to policy discussions on how to transition America’s poor from government dependency to self-sufficiency.

Star Parker is a nationally syndicated columnist with Creators and the founder of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education (CurePolicy.org), a Washington D.C.-based Public Policy Institute that fights poverty and restores dignity through messages of faith, freedom, and personal responsibility.

After first-hand experience in the grip of welfare dependency, a Christian conversion changed Star's life in 1983. She started a business in Los Angeles and began her activism upon the 1992 Los Angeles riots destroying that business.

In 1993, Star Parker began consulting with federal and state legislators on market-based strategies to fight poverty including federal Welfare Reform that passed in the mid-90's: and thus she founded CURE in 1995 to bring new ideas to policy discussions on how to transition America's poor from government dependency. Today, Miss Star Parker is on the Board of Directors and Executive Committee of NRB and her weekly syndicated column runs on national news platforms including Fox News, NewsMax, Epoch Times, Real Clear Politics, and in more than 100 local news outlets around the country.

In 1996, she was a featured speaker at the Republican National Convention.

In 2017, Ms. Parker joined the White House Opportunity Initiative advisory team to share ideas on how to best fix our nation’s most distressed zip codes. In 2018, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell appointed her to the U.S. Frederick Douglass Bicentennial Commission.

In 2020, President Donald Trump appointed her to serve a two year term on the U.S. Civil Rights Commission Committee for California.

Star Parker has spent the last thirty years active in developing CURE, which umbrellas nationally recognized and esteemed policy, media and clergy centers; and in helping other organizations that impact the culture particularly for younger generations encompassing lecturers on more than 300 college campuses, including Harvard, Berkeley, Emory, Liberty, Franciscan and Pepperdine, as well as gracing the banquet platforms with her personal story from abortion to atonement for more than 300 Pregnancy Care Centers.

Star has 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 the 2016 “Ronald Reagan Foot Soldier of the Year” from CPAC, the 2017 Groundswell Impact Award, and the 2018 Queen Esther Award from Bott Radio Network.

In addition, Star Parker has authored 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).

She is currently working closely with national thought leaders specializing in the area of social security reform. And yes, she is working to release book five by year end, 2025.
