I AM A STAR Affirmation:

I am a STAR with many visions and dreams.
I make mistakes, learn from them, and I move forward.
I am chosen to lead with assertiveness and speak my truth
as it defines the woman I was yesterday,
who I am today, and who I becoming.
No matter the challenges that I am faced with,
I will always remember that
I am a STAR, and it’s time to SHINE.
