Star Store Grand Opening

The Starlite Collective is excited and proud to announce our first ever mini [brick & mortar] consignment shop: The Star Store! The Star Store features beginner and established makers from all walks of life, from all over Michigan! If you have ever come to one of our pop-up shops like Art Mart; Star Store is the same, but on a smaller scale!

We aim to be your corner store, but for handmade, artsy, and one of a kind goods! Find all sorts of bits and bobs from comic books and jewelry to oddities and illustration! You’ll never know what you’ll find at Star Store!

The Starlite Collective is founded with the firm belief that true kindness, community, and equity are the core of creative/maker success. Together we cultivate an all-inclusive space where we support makers in their journey; especially our queer, bipoc, and youth creators.

At Starlite we aim to support, uplift, and empower an ever-growing community of emerging and established creatives throughout Southwest Michigan and beyond. We seek to provide points of community connection through hosting interactive and immersive market spaces, activities, and our community studio space.

Our goal is to remain accessible and affordable to all while providing thoughtfully curated experiences and spaces that welcome people of all walks of life to be free, enjoy themselves, and meet the makers behind the small businesses within their local community.

We cannot wait to see you at our new location, and remember—all are welcome here.

& you hold the light 🌟

What is Transformation?

Racial healing is at the heart of racial equity. Racial healing is about:

  • the people work that leads to the transformation of systems;
  • the telling of hard truths about past wrongs and present consequences;
  • repairing the harm of racism;
  • replacing the deeply held system that fuels racism with one that sees the inherent value of all people;
  • authentic relationship-building across real and perceived differences.

 

Without racial healing and building trust, changes in policies or practices are short-lived. Through healing and relationship-building, we can collectively develop new values that affect our everyday decisions in areas of policy making, hiring, education and housing – to name just a few.

What is Racial Healing?

Racial healing refers to the process of addressing and repairing the harm caused by racial injustice, discrimination, and systemic oppression.

It involves acknowledging historical and present-day injustices, fostering understanding and empathy across racial divides, and promoting reconciliation, healing, and solidarity among individuals and communities.

Racial healing recognizes the deep-seated trauma and intergenerational impact of racism on individuals, families, and society as a whole, and seeks to create spaces for healing, dialogue, and transformative change.

It encompasses personal, interpersonal, and systemic dimensions, and involves both individual reflection and collective action to address the root causes of racial inequity and promote equity, justice, and belonging for all.

Racial healing is a proactive and ongoing process that requires commitment, compassion, and collaboration from individuals, communities, institutions, and society at large.
