Trailblazers Spotlight

Honoring the Creatives, Leaders, and Everyday Heroes Lighting the Way

The Trailblazers Spotlight is an ongoing feature that grows out of the InnaStar Trailblazer Awards. It highlights the artists, educators, entrepreneurs, youth, and community leaders who are making a difference in the Lehigh Valley and beyond.



More than a recognition, the Spotlight is a storytelling platform.

  • Interviews and behind-the-scenes stories from honorees and nominees

  •  Features on emerging creatives and students excelling in our programs

  • Updates on where past Trailblazers are now and how they continue to impact their communities

Why it matters:

Many of the people we spotlight have done the work quietly for years. The Trailblazers Spotlight gives them visibility, celebrates their journey, and inspires the next generation to keep going.

This is where our community can see what “creative leadership” looks like in real life—across ages, cultures, and disciplines.
