✨ PROUD PARTNER SPOTLIGHT ✨

As we celebrate 5 Years of Impact, InnaStar is proud to recognize the organizations and programs whose investment helps us continue creating opportunities for creatives, entrepreneurs, artists, and our greater community. 🌟

InnaStar is honored to be a 2025–26 Creative Sector Flex Fund Grant Recipient, with support from Pennsylvania Creative Industries, powered by the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, and administered regionally through the Lehigh Valley Community Foundation.

This support is more than funding—it’s an investment in the creative economy, community impact, opportunity, and lasting change.

For five years, InnaStar has worked to build spaces where creativity is celebrated, emerging voices are amplified, and individuals making a difference in their communities receive their flowers. Partnerships like these help make that work possible.

To the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and Lehigh Valley Community Foundation, thank you for championing the arts, investing in creatives, and helping organizations like InnaStar continue building what’s next. ✨

Here’s to continuing to HONOR. EMPOWER. CELEBRATE. ELEVATE.

🌟 5 Years of Impact. A Legacy of Excellence.

✨This Wednesday, we are proud to honor Brieana SaHeida at the InnaStar Pre-Awards Mixer for her impact across media, fashion, entrepreneurship, and community storytelling.

As a multimedia journalist and fashion entrepreneur, Brieana has built a career centered around one consistent purpose: creating space for people, brands, and stories to be seen.

Through her media platform, All Access with Brieana, she has used interviews, red carpet coverage, event correspondence, and digital storytelling to spotlight creatives, entrepreneurs, designers, community leaders, and cultural experiences. Whether behind the microphone or in front of the camera, Brieana approaches media with an understanding that visibility can create opportunities—and that the stories within our own communities deserve to be documented and amplified.

That same mission extends into entrepreneurship. As the Founder and CEO of Bella & Co Beauty, Brieana has created a fashion and beauty brand rooted in affordable luxury, confidence, individuality, and self-expression. As a plus-size model and content creator, she also continues to advocate for greater representation and encourages women to embrace style boldly and confidently take up space.

Her journey is proof that you don’t have to choose between your passions—you can build, serve, create, advocate, and tell the stories that matter.

As we celebrate 5 Years of Impact, we’re excited to recognize Brieana for the many ways she continues to use her voice, creativity, and platforms to make room for others. 🌟

✨ HONOREE SPOTLIGHT: TYREE SCOTT ✨

This Wednesday, we are proud to honor Tyree Scott at the InnaStar Pre-Awards Mixer for his creativity, versatility, and continued presence within the fashion and entertainment industries.

As a model, actor, and creative director, Tyree has built a creative journey that allows him to move seamlessly between being in front of the camera and helping shape the vision behind it. His work reflects the confidence, discipline, and creative perspective required to make an impact across multiple areas of the industry.

Whether stepping onto a runway, bringing a character to life, collaborating on a production, or helping develop the creative direction of a project, Tyree continues to demonstrate the importance of range, evolution, and being intentional about your craft.

His journey is also a reminder that being a Trailblazer doesn’t require staying in one lane. Sometimes impact comes from having the courage to explore every part of your creativity and create your own lane along the way.

As we celebrate 5 Years of Impact, we’re excited to recognize Tyree and the creative energy he continues to bring to our community. 🌟

This Wednesday, we are proud to honor Ciara Marie Alford at the InnaStar Pre-Awards Mixer for her creativity, leadership, and impact through dance, choreography, and creative direction.

As a Choreographer and Creative Director, Ciara has used movement as more than performance—it has become a vehicle for expression, confidence, storytelling, and connection. Her creative vision and commitment to her craft have allowed her to make an impact both on and beyond the stage.

Through her work, Ciara continues to contribute to the creative community while inspiring others to embrace their individuality, develop their gifts, and confidently take up space. Her ability to transform ideas into movement and experiences represents the innovation and artistic excellence we strive to celebrate through InnaStar.

Creative leadership isn’t only about being seen at the front. It’s also about creating the vision, setting the standard, and helping others shine within it. Ciara continues to do exactly that.
