FREEDOM STAR



Hello! My name is Sahar Pazirandeh... to keep it short, I am a people & WOMEN empowerment junkie. Actualizing my dreams in New York City, often in Colorado and Florida - consulting other entrepreneurs, artists and organization to do the same.

Fashionlanthropist mentoring and creating with teens through credit-earning fashion programs I developed. Who says learning isn't chic?

And when I'm not engulfed in all of this I help fundraise (grant writer & events) for non-profits, including public schools.


Thank you for stopping by, hope to meet you soon. ~Sahar

Just like my Momma

I dig through my memories of the past, and no matter the occasion, I remember my Mom hosting one of her beautiful (presentation is everything) and delicious dinners, there was this promise of delicious food for days to come. Said (my brother) and I knew there would be days of yummy leftovers.

She was ready to stimulate every taste bud with an array of dishes. Fish, chicken, vegetarian, whatever you had a taste for, my Mom had a dish for it. Getting ready for a market I get in this frame of mind.

Like my Mom, I hope my jewels are tasty to any women, no matter her inspiration for that day's outfit. But, what really makes me see my Momma's ways is how I get crazy with design ideas a few days before. Which means I'm definitely not getting any sleep and making an overload of accessories! But, it's a must - I must create every color combination that comes to mind for whatever earring or necklace I envision as I gaze at my beads and charms.

I wish my camera wasn't broken so I could give you a sneak peak of what I made tonight for Afro Punk Festival...come check it out this weekend. Found a cool antique gold owl charm, and amazing rustic safety pins that make a great addition to the newest Freedom Star necklace.

Hope all is well in your worlds.

And so it begins....

Freedom Star is really spreading it's wings.  Many have told me to start a blog to record my experience building this business and sharing what it takes to really go after a dream. So, here I am. 

Hopefully the ride will be fun, with minimal bumps and bruises. 

And now off to review the final draft of my web-site. Before staying up all night to get ready for Afro Punk Block Party in Brooklyn this Sunday. It will be Freedom Star Accessories first street fair appearance!  I'm so excited and my dear friend Brina will be flying in from Colorado to help out!  What would we do without our friends? Thanks girls - you know who you are.

until next time...
