Cara Cruickshank is a feminist educator, writer, and producer whose artistic journey began on Broadway at the age of ten in Les Misérables. She later founded The Listen to Me Theater Company in New York, where she developed a distinctive body of work at the intersection of poetry, theater, and women’s storytelling. Her acclaimed ensemble theater production, The Alchemy of Imperfection—a poetic exploration of the female experience—premiered in Paris before touring across the United States during the height of the #MeToo movement. The tour culminated in a sold-out performance in New York City featuring Broadway and Cirque du Soleil performers. Cara’s work has garnered the support of influential cultural figures, from Tupac Shakur’s mentor and manager, Leila Steinberg, to Woodstock producer and visionary Michael Lang, reinforcing her commitment to addressing urgent social and cultural issues through art. Her career has included collaborations with rap artists in inner-city Los Angeles, world slam poetry champions, and the founding of Café de la Culture, a contemporary salon philosophique centered on dialogue about social justice. Across continents, Cara has dedicated her work to uplifting silenced voices—from launching her first girls’ advocacy initiative in rural Brazil, to curating international panels on Black Lives Matter, to documenting the stories of LGBTQ refugees at the Mexican border, to facilitating diversity programs on university stages in Turkey and the United States, and communing with Indigenous grandmother circles internationally. Today, she leads Voices Unveiled, an underground online school providing feminist education and self-empowerment programs for Afghan women living under Taliban rule. Through her art and activism, Cara continues to challenge systems of oppression, elevate unheard voices, and inspire transformation. To learn more, visit https://voicesunveiled.org/.
