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

Capitalism is the World’s Best Anti-Poverty Program
“Capitalism is not about being ‘on your own,’ as we hear so often on the left. It’s about entrepreneurs being free to create prosperity by serving their fellow citizens with innovative ideas and products.”
Market-Based Ideas to Fix America’s Inner-Cities
“Poverty is big business. The cost of the war on poverty has been $22 trillion since it began. Today, the federal government spends $900 billion every year (Twenty-five percent of the national budget) on anti-poverty programs. These programs have spread dependence and ruined our inner-cities. By liberating entrepreneurs, expanding Opportunity Zones, and getting government out of the way, a new era of growth and prosperity can begin in neighborhoods that need it the most.”
Breaking the Cycle of Poverty
“The so-called social justice concept of redistribution of wealth to alleviate poverty has not only violated private property rights, but it also has violated Scripture: Don’t Covet! Wealth redistribution under the guise of Social Justice violates the very social structures needed for one to excel - and break the cycle of poverty. Society diminishes into a ‘tragedy of the commons’ which demands Collectivism and Political Correctness: the mantras of progressivism.”
