Catherine St Jude Pretorious aka Dope Saint Jude originates from Cape Town. After graduating in political sciences and founding South Africa’s first drag-king group, this feminist activist studied sound production and eventually released her first solo project two years ago, Reimagine. Last November, the artist who defines herself as a poetess released her second EP, Resilient, ranging between pop and hip-hop, of which “Inside” is a part of.

In 2018, Dope Saint Jude created an art magazine whose profits go directly to these children to enable them to have access to education.
