The Adventurer with a Vision
Hi, I’m Starah J. Dixon—entrepreneur, adventurer, storyteller, and connector of bold ideas. My journey is rooted in blazing new trails, fostering meaningful connections, and inspiring others to step boldly into their own stories. Whether I’m scaling mountain paths with loved ones or creating platforms that amplify voices, everything I do is guided by curiosity, purpose, and the desire to make an impact.
A Life Built on Bold Steps
I’ve always believed life’s greatest adventures happen when we embrace the unexpected and lean into meaningful connections. This belief has fueled every step of my entrepreneurial journey. From co-founding HealthHires with the accomplished Dr. Raynetta Stansil, a trailblazer in healthcare with a wealth of expertise, to connect top talent with leading employers, to supporting underrepresented entrepreneurs as a founding member of Untapped Founders, alongside my now-husband, Devin Dixon, an innovative entrepreneur and technologist, I’ve always sought to create opportunities where they matter most.
That same passion led to the creation of Mitsooz, a brand where storytelling meets design. Mitsooz redefines luxury home decor for tastemakers, making high-quality, artistic pieces both accessible and deeply personal. (Psst... use code WELCOME15 for 15% off your first order!)
In 2019, I had the honor of hosting the "From Idea to Action" panel at Maven IO’s Conference—a milestone that reinforced my commitment to helping others turn bold dreams into actionable steps. Today, I channel that same energy into Authentic Ambitions: Inspiring Brands and Bold Leaders, a platform I co-founded with Tysheda Williams, a seasoned entrepreneur with over a decade of expertise in corporate events and travel. Together, we amplify the voices behind impactful brands, proving there’s room for everyone at the table when passion meets purpose.
When the Laptop Closes
When I’m not immersed in entrepreneurship, I’m focused on what matters most: my family. Devin has been my rock through life’s twists and turns, while Ash ensures every day is an adventure (and occasionally a symphony of howls). Whether we’re exploring trails, traveling cross-country, or savoring quiet moments at home, I’ve found that the key to balance lies in blending ambition with joy.
What Awaits You Here
This space is my way of blending the lessons I’ve learned with the stories I’ve lived. You’ll find entrepreneurial insights, adventure guides, and resources for leaders ready to step into the unknown while staying true to their values.
With Authentic Ambitions, Mitsooz, and a deep love for storytelling, my goal is simple: to spark connections through stories, offer tools that help you grow, and remind you that life’s greatest transformations often come wrapped in unexpected adventures.
My Promise To You
When you step into my world, here’s what you can always count on:
No gatekeeping
If I know it, you’ll know it too. There’s enough success to go around, and I’m here to share the tools, tips, and lessons that have helped me along the way.
Real Talk, Real Solutions
I’ll give it to you straight—no fluff, no fake inspiration. Just real talk, actionable insights, and a little encouragement when you need it most.
A Space to Grow Together
We’re in this together. This space is about connecting, learning from each other, and celebrating every win—big or small.
Balance Without Burnout
Life’s too short to be all work and no play. Whether it’s chasing goals or chasing sunsets, I’m all about finding the sweet spot where ambition meets joy.
My Only Ask
Building bold dreams takes a village, and I’d be honored if you’d be part of mine. Whether it’s by sharing Mitsooz with someone who loves thoughtful design, finding a piece that tells your story, or sending people and businesses my way for speaking opportunities, your support means the world to me.
Every purchase, mention, or connection helps amplify what I’m building—a brand and platform that celebrates quality, craftsmanship, and meaningful connections. Together, we’re creating something truly unforgettable. Thank you for being part of this journey.
