A Message From Founder and Executive Director, Cynthia Brian

The Be the Star You Are!® Motto

“To be a leader, you must be a reader. Read, lead, succeed.” Cynthia Brian, Founder, Executive Director

Autumn has fallen with shorter days, cooler nights and leaves turning umber, amber, and gold. Kids everywhere are planning their costumes for Halloween. Life has been busy as families settle into the back to school routine with the frenzy of homework and extracurricular activities. Festivals and fairs of the summer offered exciting opportunities for camaraderie and exploration. Now it’s back to work. I am grateful for the dedication of our volunteers who continue to add their own unique talents to the outreach programs of Be the Star You Are!®. A special shout out of appreciation is due to our newsletter creator, Elizabeth Aguilar in Geneva, Switzerland and our Teen Event Coordinator, Chelsea Pelchat who have really done stellar jobs. In addition, our teen radio reporters and hosts continue to grow as top notch media talent on Express Yourself!™ Teen Radio, interviewing a myriad of fascinating guests. Just in time for a haunted October, guests on both Express Yourself!™ Teen Radio and StarStyle®-Be the Star You Are!® offer bone-chilling books to keep you looking over your shoulder for those scary hallowed eve nights. Thanks to everyone who supports BTSYA with your donations. Stay safe and enjoy the tricks and treats of the season. Most of all, continue to shine as the STARS you are.
