📢 TRAILBLAZER AWARDS UPDATE

As our organization continues to grow, so does our commitment to excellence and recognizing true impact. To ensure a more balanced and equitable selection process, the InnaStar Trailblazer Awards has updated its voting model.

Beginning with the 2026 InnaStar Trailblazer Awards, winners will be determined through a combined scoring model:

⭐ 50% Public Vote
⭐ 50% Trailblazer Excellence Review Committee Score

Committee evaluations will be based on:

✨ Impact & Community Contribution
✨ Industry Achievement
✨ Innovation & Creativity
✨ Leadership & Professionalism
✨ Overall Excellence & Legacy

This enhancement ensures that community support remains important while also recognizing individuals whose work, leadership, and contributions deserve celebration regardless of the size of their social media following.

At InnaStar, we believe excellence should be accessible to everyone—not just the most visible.

Thank you for helping us continue to honor creatives, changemakers, educators, entrepreneurs, and leaders who are making a lasting impact.

DREAM BIG. DREAM BOLD. DREAM ENDLESS.

✨ WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH • INNASTAR SPOTLIGHT ✨

Today, we’re celebrating a powerful woman using her voice and position to uplift the Lehigh Valley…

🌟 APRIL RIDDICK 🌟
Lehigh County Commissioner-at-Large • Community Advocate • Youth Champion • InnaStar Team Member

April Riddick is a passionate community advocate dedicated to equity, housing stability, youth advocacy, and mental health in the Lehigh Valley. Through her work in public service and on the ground in the community, she amplifies the voices of underserved residents, champions strong youth programs, raises awareness around homelessness and housing insecurity, and stands in the gap for vulnerable families and neighborhoods.

April brings a strong justice lens, deep local knowledge, and a big heart for making sure every youth, creatives, and every community member has the opportunity to thrive.

This Women’s History Month, we honor women like April who show up, stand up, and keep fighting for community, dignity, and opportunity for all.

Help us celebrate April in the comments and send her some love for all she does in the Lehigh Valley and with InnaStar. 💛✨

Dream Big. Dream Bold. Dream Endless. 🌍🎬

✨ WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH • FOUNDER SPOTLIGHT ✨
As we continue celebrating the powerful women who help lead, shape, and cover InnaStar, today we pause to honor the woman who dared to dream it into existence…

🌟 JACINTH HEADLAM 🌟
Founder & CEO, InnaStar Incorporated

From Jamaica to Brooklyn to the Lehigh Valley, Jacinth has been building against the odds – turning pain into purpose, purpose into stories, and stories into legacy. She created InnaStar so creatives, youth, and our Golden Stars (ages 60+) would have a true “Home of the Creative” — a place to heal, grow, and shine.

Through her vision, InnaStar now runs youth filmmaking labs, GLOW Confidence and On-Camera Confidence workshops, International Creative Exchange, our Holiday Giveaway Celebration, and the annual InnaStar Trailblazer Awards — where culture, community, and creativity meet on one stage.

She is a filmmaker, author, mentor, mother, and builder of community — proving that when a woman refuses to quit, entire generations shift.

This Women’s History Month, we celebrate not only Jacinth, but every woman who kept building when it was lonely… who kept creating when resources were low… who kept showing up even when the door wasn’t open yet… who built tables when doors were closed… and who chose legacy over limitation.

To all the visionary women making history in real time: we see you, we honor you, and we’re building with you.

At InnaStar, we will always:
Dream Big. Dream Bold. Dream Endless. ✨
