Most people growing up are taught how to follow the law and avoid getting in trouble. But very few of us ever get told what to do if we ever do. No one understands that the way Stasha Starr does. A formerly incarcerated inmate who saw how the system sets people up to fail but still bounced back and created a life of triumph for herself, she’s now ready to tell her story.
Stasha is a young entrepreneur and author preparing to release her first book entitled Time to Get in Position. The self-help title aims to help people bounce back from challenges. “Whether you’ve been in prison, the foster care system, or have just never been taught basic life skills, this book is for you,” shares the author. “It’s a step-by-step guide to reforming your life. It’s never too late to become the best possible version of yourself.”
On November 22, 2019, Stasha Starr set foot on free ground for the first time after being put in prison for 50 months. While serving time, she saw how the system worked. Starr quickly noted how very little of the nation’s correctional system helped correct people’s wrongs. She shares how many of her experiences were there to punish the wrongdoer for the crime instead of rehabilitating them.
Fortunately, Stasha set out to do what the system couldn’t do for herself and more than two million people in the country’s correctional system. Now, over two years after her liberation, she has turned a new leaf and made a better life for herself and her three children. Stasha Starr is currently the CEO of Pure Beauty, a haircare company, and works as a tax consultant for American Federal Tax Company.
Now, Stasha is ready to shift gears and take on a new challenge—mentoring those like her, whom the system has given up on. She is more than determined to mentor people coming out of prison or any other circumstance that breeds doubt in themselves. She hopes that by doing so, she can create a spark in others that will show them that there’s more to life after their trials. And it all starts with her book that will come out on November 22, 2021, exactly two years after Stasha was released from prison.
In her book, Time to Get into Position, the author talks about the process of removing negative self-talk and overcoming the wrong mindsets that many of today’s less fortunate people have to face daily. Stasha shares the story of her upbringing and the realizations that helped her reverse her misfortunes and go from ex-convict to CEO and thriving entrepreneur.
Millions of Americans face a sense of hopelessness. Even now, as the world exits one of the worst health and economic crises of our time, she hopes that “Time to Get into Position” would speak directly to those who feel they’re at the end of their rope.
Stasha Starr hopes that her story will spark a new sense of wonder in others and show them a better way to live despite insurmountable odds and a lack of support from others. To learn more about the author and her upcoming title, visit her Instagram profile.
