“Our guest speaker Michaela spoke about her story – a story of resilience that left an imprint on my heart. Through her NGO, Starchild, she fights for the rights of vulnerable children in Uganda, creating opportunities and advocating for those who need it most. Despite being told she’d never be a musician or write a book, she sung for the Queen twice and published books. Her life is a testament to the power of determination. Proving that no adversity can stop us if we choose not to let it. As Michaela said, “Do not let anyone or anything define you – not setback, delays, and obstacles.”

We were honoured to have Michaela Foster Marsh at the CoS Guild in Millport telling us about the Project Starchild. Her talk was one of the most moving talks our Guild has ever heard! Her talk told us about why and how she came about starting Starchild. What an amazing journey she has been on. | Christine McCubbin, Millport Guild

By a beautiful coincidence I read some of Michaela’s material online. Her personality and some beliefs aligned with some of mine. Primarily in believing that by trying hard enough and expecting positive outcomes, things will happen and the universe will send you the assistance you require. This struck a chord with me. I’ve since attended a book reading at Waterstones where Michaela was interviewed and talked about her book Starchild with actor, Sanjeev Cohli. Having read the book and then attended an evening presentation by Michaela, I’m fascinated by her passion, her ease of presentation and her ability to captivate the audience and enthuse the audience with her passion. Captivating presentation Michaela. | Gerry McKinstry
