Speakers, hosts, and peers who have shared a stage and a process with Starr. Press play, or read the line that captures each one.
If you are considering Starr for a speaking opportunity, it is an easy yes. Everyone was mesmerized by it. The storytelling, the vulnerability she shared, all of it was done so masterfully.
Her ability to storytell while she teaches is really an incredible thing to witness. She is just an incredible speaker that anyone should consider bringing into their event.
Starr Clinton has been a surprising and refreshing kind of epiphany. She is such a leader in this community by giving us this information and her wisdom and her experiences.
From the people who have built next to Starr, learned from her, and watched how she works up close.
She's not only reignited my love for the Deaf culture and sign language, she is personally guiding me in making my own business more inclusive and Deaf-friendly and trust me, she thinks of everything! Her insight is thoughtful, intentional, and always comes full circle.
Starr truly embodies what it means to be iron sharpening iron. I'm a better person and business owner because of her influence and example. If you ever get the chance to work with her, learn from her, or support her mission, take it. She is the real deal.
Reactions from rooms Starr has spoken to. Shared publicly by the people who wrote them and published here with permission.
When I first met Starr, she was nervous talking in front of about a dozen of us in a meeting. Now, she's speaking in front of about 100 without any nerve showing.
You don't often meet people with the passion to help that she has and I love it.
Starr was amazing yesterday.
Starr is amazing. She's inspiring, she's passionate, and I'm proud to call her my friend.
At the We Rise Conference in Oklahoma City, attendees wrote notes by hand and sent the box home with Starr after she spoke. These are those notes. Where a note was signed, the name appears. Where it was not, the note stands on its own.
