Star Parker is the founder and president of CURE, the Coalition on Urban
Renewal & Education, a 501c3 non-profit think tank that provides a
national voice of reason on issues of race and poverty in the media,
inner city neighborhoods, and public policy.
Prior to her involvement in social activism, Star Parker was a single
welfare mother in Los Angeles, California. After receiving Christ, Star
returned to college, received a BS degree in marketing and launched an
urban Christian magazine. The 1992 Los Angeles riots destroyed her
business, yet served as a springboard for her focus on faith and
market-based alternatives to empower the lives of the poor.
As a social policy consultant, Star Parker gives regular testimony
before the United States Congress, and is a national expert on major
television and radio shows across the country. Currently, Star is a
regular commentator on CNN, CNBC, CBN, FOX News, and the United
Kingdom's BBC. She has debated Jesse Jackson on BET; fought for
school choice on Larry King Live; defended welfare reform on the
Oprah Winfrey Show, and spoke at the 1996 Republican National
Convention.
Star Parker’s personal transformation from welfare fraud to conservative
crusader has been chronicled by ABC’s 20/20; Rush Limbaugh;
Readers Digest; Dr. James Dobson; The 700 Club;
Dr. George Grant; the Washington Times; Christianity Today;
Charisma, and World Magazine. Articles and quotes by Star
have appeared in major publications including the Washington Post
and the New York Times.
Star has written three books. Her autobiography "Pimps, Whores & Welfare
Brats" was released in 1997 by Pocket Books, "Uncle Sam's Plantation" is
released by Thomas Nelson in the fall of 2003, and "White Ghetto: How
Middle Class America Reflects Inner City Decay" was released in 2006.
Today, in addition to heading CURE, Star is a syndicated columnist for
Scripps Howard News Service, offering weekly op-eds to more than 400
newspapers worldwide, including the Boston Herald, the Dallas
Morning News, The Orange County Register, San Diego Union, Arkansas
Democrat Gazette, the Washington Times, and the Star and
Stripes, the largest paper serving the men and women of our Armed
Forces.
