“Thank you, InnaStar, for this Trailblazer Award and for acknowledging my journey of transformation and healing. Because of platforms like this, I can now tell young boys and girls everywhere to never give up on their dreams.”

“Thank you so much, InnaStar, for this award. I just want every young boy and girl to know, never give up on your dreams, no matter what anyone says. You really can be a star.”

“Thank you, InnaStar, for this honor and for creating a platform that truly celebrates creatives. This space uplifts artists, stories, and culture in a powerful way.”

“Working with InnaStar 💫 has been one of the most life-changing experiences for me. What started as participating in a short film with Fine Feather Foundation at Camp Fowler led to receiving my very first award at the Star Trailblazers Awards — a moment I will never forget. Through InnaStar at Casa Guadalupe Center’s after-school and summer camp programs, my confidence continued to grow. I went from not liking theater to creating a commercial and performing in a short play. What once felt uncomfortable became empowering. Jacinth doesn’t just teach — she inspires. She creates a space where young people feel seen, supported, and brave enough to step outside their comfort zones. Because of InnaStar, I found confidence I didn’t know I had. 💛”

“I think it’s really cool that we get to create our own film and actually see ourselves on screen. At first, I didn’t think it was possible, but after finishing this class, my whole mindset changed—I now believe I can do it.”

“This filmmaking class with Miss Ja was awesome. I learned a lot about myself and how to be more confident on camera, and I love how she made everything fun while we were learning.”

“InnaStar helped me believe that my ideas and my voice matter. Being recognized as a Trailblazer Student Awardee showed me that even as a young person, I can lead, create, and inspire others. This experience gave me the confidence to keep going after my dreams.”

“Performing with InnaStar and being part of the Youth Filmmaking Program at Trexler helped me step out of my comfort zone. I learned how to express myself, try new things, and be more confident on stage and on camera.”

“The InnaStar Trailblazer Awards represent excellence, perseverance, and community. Being awarded multiple times and making history with the most wins has reminded me that hard work and authenticity never go unnoticed. I’m grateful to be part of a legacy that uplifts creatives and visionaries. The community work InnaStar does is a testament to the integrity and mission behind the platform—it’s not performative, it’s intentional.”
