Maia Chaka Biography
Maia Chaka is a multi-faceted, barrier breaker with a passion for advancing the growth of women, youth, and her culture. Originally from Rochester, New York, Chaka grew up with a family first mentality, carrying that with her through her schooling and career. Although she faced unique challenges at a young age, she found that when she implemented the needs of others before hers, blessings soon followed.
After graduating from Norfolk State University, Chaka began her profession in education, focusing on at-risk youth, developing programs, and originating procedures to increase school attendance and retention rates. She designed clubs to promote self-esteem, created in-school initiatives to advance academic achievement, and studied the most result driven strategies to maintain educational encouragement.
While she continued making waves in the classroom, earning awards and accolades such as Teacher of the Year, Chaka was simultaneously making her mark on the field, officiating in conferences such as the PAC-12, Conference USA and more. In March 2021, Chaka made history as the 1st black woman to join the on-field officiating staff in the National Football League. As only the 2nd woman to join the on-field officiating staff, Chaka continues to be an agent for change by devoting her time to pouring into the communities that helped nurture her growth.
Chaka’s story is one of inspiration, motivation, and dedication. Today, she participates in panels, forums, and conversations nationwide, to encourage people from all walks of life, while continuing to provide educational enrichment services to economically disadvantaged youth, through her non-profit Make Meaningful Change (MMC).

The event went great and everyone is so inspired by Maia!
NuVasive, Inc. - Mar 10 2023 -
Ms. Chaka was wonderful. She exuded an appreciation for being here and made an effort to sincerely and genuinely connect with as many students as possible. We would have her back in a heartbeat. Thank you!

We loved Maia again! Our team and guests were raving about her afterwards. Thank you all again for your hard work :) It's been such a pleasure working together.

I've truly enjoyed working with Maia and the All American Entertainment team! Everyone we came into contact with was kind, patient and excellent with communication. Maia was great to meet with, but even more wonderful in person. She knows how to share her story in such a genuine way that truly connects with her audience. In preparation, we could tell she takes the time to tailor her comments to her audience, which shows she really does care and it's not "just another speaking engagement" to her. Overall it's been a fabulous experience and we're excited we have Maia for more than one event.
