Maia Chaka Biography
Maia Chaka made history as the first Black woman to officiate an NFL game. As only the second woman to be hired as a full-time NFL official, Chaka continues to be an agent for change by devoting her time to the communities that helped nurture her.
Originally from Rochester, New York, Chaka is a multi-faceted, goal-oriented individual with a passion for breaking glass ceilings and being an example for youth worldwide. Her "family first" mentality led to her career in education, focusing on at-risk youth, developing programs, and implementing procedures to increase school attendance and retention rates.
While earning awards and accolades such as Teacher of the Year, Chaka officiated football games at the high school and college level. She was invited to join the NFL’s Mackie Development Program (MDP). MDP officials — the top non-NFL officials in the country — are the first to be considered to fill openings on NFL crews.
Chaka’s story is one of inspiration, motivation, and dedication. 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 the non-profit she founded, Make Meaningful Change.

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.
