THE @youngblackshiningstar PODCAST IS OUT NOW!!!! 🎉Where do I begin… I feel so blessed, thankful and grateful to have been giving this opportunity by @global @globalplayer @supermeeks 🙏🏾 I created the Young Black Shining Star platform to recognise, celebrate, inspire, honour and promote young children of black origin in different fields involving entrepreneurship, music, entertainment, sport, art, food and more. Due to the times we’re living in, it’s important to let children and people know that it’s possible to live your dreams no matter what their skin colour is.🌟YBSS PODCAST Get ready to be amazed by the established and emerging young talent on my brand new podcast: YOUNG BLACK SHINING STAR! Hosted by Amanda Star who is the Founder of YBSS & 12-year-old @chardonnayldn, each episode the children will talk about what it is that they do and their journey so far. It will also involve speaking to their parents/carers about how they’ve supported their child in their chosen field. Chardonnay will also share some ‘Did You Know Facts’ in relation to what the Young Black Shining Star does. Amanda & Chardonnay finish off the each episode by playing a game of ‘How Well Do You Know Me?’ with their guests! 🤩LINK TO THE FIRST EPISODE WHICH FEATURES 12-YEAR-OLD @princesskofficial & HER MUM SABRINA, IS IN MY BIO!

Effortless elegance, tailored for you. No compromise—just pure sophistication. 🕊️The brief was simple: Maximum volume, neat parts, and zero tension. 🤎We used human hair curls to give @msamandastar that effortless, full, bohemian vibe while keeping her parts crisp and lightweight. Perfect for a vacation, a busy lifestyle, or just waking up looking flawless. ✨📍 Exclusively at Chez Moi Salon Spa. Treat yourself—you are worth the premium experience. #fyp #bohobraids #goddessbraids #knotlessbraids #chezmoisalonspa by @msamandastar

A reminder to myself: Never dim your light to make others comfortable. You are a testimony, living proof of God’s grace, growth, and faithfulness. Let your life speak and your light shine, not just for you, but for those who need hope, encouragement, and a reason to believe.God has you, always guiding, covering, and strengthening you in every season.‘In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.’ ~ Matthew 5:16 💛🙏🏾📸 @just4womenafrica EVENT: The Creative Guild 🇬🇭@peakorawellbeing x @peakart_ghana x @elevateyoursound_ 🏆 by @msamandastar

Women’s health matters. Our bodies matter. Our voices matter. 🙏🏾Sensory Vibes was more than an event, it was a reminder that taking a whole-body approach to peri-menopause, menopause and beyond isn’t a luxury… IT IS NECESSARY! From nourishing food to breathwork, vocal sound, movement, music, pure vibes and a deeply grounding sound bath, every moment poured back into us as women.Spaces like this are needed, felt, and so appreciated. Thank you to Jel & the team for creating such an intentional and powerful experience. I can’t wait for the next one!Be sure to follow both @buddingminds__ & @natblake_endowarrior @sundaysipliveevent and tap into the amazing events they each host individually too… Trust me, you don’t want to miss what they’re building! 💛 by @msamandastar

Standing at the iconic Black Star Gate during my last visit to Ghana reminded me just how special this place is. 💛🇬🇭✨As Ghana Independence Day marks 69 years of independence for Ghana, I’m filled with so much gratitude. Over the last 15 months I’ve been blessed to visit four times… For a reset, realignment, family, friends, reconnections, new connections, business, work, sowing seeds, experiences, moments of pure joy and an unexpected spiritual awakening. There was a younger version of me who was once bullied and made to feel ashamed of being African… And today she would be so proud of the Amanda who now stands boldly in her heritage and identity. 🥹Grateful to God for guiding my steps and the plans ahead. The future is so bright.‘Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.’ ~ Proverbs 16:3 🙏🏾🇬🇭✨Happy Independence Day Ghana! Blessings and Love to my fellow Ghanaians around the world 🇬🇭🌍#GodsTiming #GodsPlan #Blessed #GhanaIndependenceDay #Ghana by @msamandastar

KAREEMAH 🤍From the moment you walked into the STEP NOW Artist Development Programme in 2023, you lit up the room. Your energy, your smile, your presence… UNFORGETTABLE. Watching you grow through creating your song and then seeing you perform it live, surrounded by family and friends, was such a blessing. All the special moments shared on the programme with your peers and facilitators were moments filled with so much joy. Even beyond the programme, our check-ins meant so much. You were a fighter, navigating life with courage, joy and honesty, always pouring love into others including me and especially your mum, your anchor.Yesterday we celebrated your life, your strength and the impact you made. My prayers remain with your family, that God continues to give them comfort, peace and strength.Kareemah you touched lives. You made an impact. You were a fighter. If we take anything from your life, let it be this: Keep going, keep shining, and keep believing in our light. Kareemah, you are the definition of a Young Black Shining Star and though you are no longer with us physically, your light has not gone out. It has simply risen higher.‘The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.’ ~ Psalm 34:18Rest In Eternal Peace Kareemah 🤍🙏🏾🕊️24th September 2000 ~ 25th October 2025 by @msamandastar

Having a clear out and I found some baby pics of me (so cute) and now I’m here in reflective mode…Looking at this baby, she had no idea what life would bring… The pain, the heartbreaks, the hardships, the lessons, the tears, the moments she’d feel unloved and unseen. But God knew. Through every storm, every tear, every silent battle, He was there shaping her, strengthening her and preparing her for purpose.Now at 41, I look back not with sadness, but with gratitude. Because what was meant to break me only built me. Every scar became strength, every loss became light.She didn’t know what was ahead… The pain, growth, purpose, but God did and He brought her through it all. Covered by grace, standing in faith, and still becoming everything He called her to be…🥹🙏🏾💛#KeepGoing #Thankful #Grateful #Blessed by @msamandastar
