Wonderful evening at the Executive Mansion wrapping up Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month alongside so many incredible community leaders, families, and friends from across North Carolina.

Shiny Stars was honored to be invited to an evening that celebrated culture, connection, and community. Events like these are a meaningful reminder of how much strength and unity can be found when people from different backgrounds come together in one space.

Thank you to Governor Josh Stein, First Lady Anna Stein, and the entire team behind the event for continuing to create opportunities that reflect the diversity and spirit of our state.

It was also a pleasure hearing remarks from Senator Jay Chaudhuri and other community leaders throughout the evening, sharing stories of service, leadership, and the lasting impact of community across generations.

Really lovely evening all around.

In recognition of National Police Week, Shiny Stars stopped by Garner NC Police with one of our students and dropped off a few trays of cookies as a small thank you.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing women in our community! 🌸

​It was so meaningful to spend time together yesterday at our Women’s Health & Heart Care Seminar. A huge thank you to Dr. Mamatha Sirivol for sharing vital insights on preventive screenings, heart health and general heal5h myths and awareness.

It was a truly engaging session. The doctor even tackled over 20 personal questions during the Q&A!

​At SHINY STARS, we believe that taking care of the women in our lives is the best way to honor them. These photos capture the great energy and learning from the event.

​Wishing everyone a beautiful day filled with love and health!

🚀 *Introducing the Tech Pillar at SHINY STARS!* 🚀

We are launching a dedicated Tech Pillar focused on the *how* and *why* of technology, not just be aware of the latest buzzwords.

​Led by Ambica Pawan Khandavilli, our monthly meetups will be based on one of the themes below:
1. ​Sessions by guest speakers who are practitioners
2. Deep dives into tech logic and strategy.
3. ​Hands-On Workshops: Real opportunities to build, participate, and master the work.

​Learn more than just the tools and come master the technology. 💻🌟

​Stay tuned for our first session date!

May 1st marks the beginning of AAPI Heritage Month.

It is a time to reflect on the important role Asian American and Pacific Islander communities have played throughout history and continue to play today.

At Shiny Stars, we are grateful for the relationships we’ve built and the opportunity to celebrate and learn from the many families who help shape who we are.

Stronger together in Garner and across our community!

Hi all,

This Volunteer Week, I just want to say a heartfelt thank you to our Hope Builders volunteers.

No nonprofit can operate without volunteers, and honestly, none can truly function without people like you who show up, care, and make things happen.

You turn intent into impact, and I’m incredibly grateful for each of you. 🙏

THANK YOU!
