Sha Cage

EDUCATOR

Inspiring Educator

Shá works to cultivate and support young people developing their artistic voice, grow their leadership skills, and increase literacy. She has worked in colleges (UofM etc), high schools, with theater, spoken word and basketball programs. She encourages her two sons and their friends to be creative and engage with the twin cities arts community. Through Catalyst Arts, she invites local and nationally known artists to present skills workshops called Umbilical. Umbilical is centered on platforming BIPOC and LGBTQ+ people who have knowledge to share.

Shá Cage and E.G. Bailey use spoken word to inspire young people. By presenting stories that are often overlooked, they encourage students to celebrate their own ability to persevere, be resilient, take risks and collaborate to solve problems.
