About us

Founded by Patricia A. Washington in 2020, the Star Legacy Awards honor individuals who leave a lasting impact—whether entertainment, education, innovation, humanitarian efforts, and beyond.  We celebrate legends, unsung artists, and everyday heroes whose contributions uplift and shape lives, yet often go unrecognized.

Preserving the past. Inspiring the future


MOTTO                                               MISSION

  We celebrate the legends you know… and the ones you may not.
The unsung, the forgotten, and the everyday heroes who quietly change lives.
Their work may go unrecognized by the world—
but not by us.

Star Legacy
Because everybody is a star and every star deserves to shine.

       

Mary Wilson: Dare To Dream

In loving memory of the legendary Mary Wilson, co-founder of The Supremes, radio host and awards founder Patricia “Sweet Pea” King has established a tribute like no other—The Mary Wilson Dare to Dream Award. This honor is reserved for individuals who embody the same strength, vision, and fearless spirit that Mary carried throughout her life and career.

“When she passed away, I was heartbroken,” said King. “But I knew I wanted to honor her in a way that celebrated her dreams—and the dreams she inspired in others. No other awards had done that. So I created one that would.”
