Sha Mika Nkrumah Williams was born on July 31, 1976, in Clearwater, Florida. She was the third daughter of the late Alvin C Williams and Lovetta D (Bryant) Williams. She was educated in various Pinellas County schools (St. Paul’s Episcopal in Clearwater & Dunedin Middle School) culminating in her graduation from Dunedin High School in 1994.

At a young age, Sha Mika participated in dance and soccer. However, her love for volleyball stood out and she played volleyball at the club, high school and collegiate level. Along with playing volleyball at Queen’s College in Charlotte, NC, Sha Mika earned her bachelor’s degree in 2000 for Business with a focus in Marketing.

While living in Pinellas County, Sha Mika was a member of Church of the Reconciler in Clearwater. Rivers of Life Ministries was her church home during her time in Hillsborough County where she was active in the Young Adults Ministry.

Sha Mika was passionate about serving her community. She mentored young children through coaching volleyball. She taught them to love and honor the game just as her coaches did for her when she was just starting out. In high school, Sha Mika was member of the Black Culture Club which sparked her interest in supporting important social and political causes including volunteering with voter registration initiatives.

Sha Mika put her business degree to work as the founder of both Red Carpet Events and the non-profit Pass Organization. Red Carpet Events provided exclusive, high-end experience social gatherings, while the Pass Organization helps underserved youth and young adults grow and become productive members of society. Her organization’s hands up, not handouts approach and her tireless work led her to be loved by children and families throughout her community and helped make her a true Marketing, Communications and Community professional.

On Sunday February 8, 2026, Sha Mika earned her wings and peacefully departed this life to rest in her eternal home in Glory. She was preceded in death by her father Alvin C. Williams.
