Chaka is from the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection, Philadelphia Pennsylvania. Her courageous spirit, edginess and out going personality keeps her determined to reach her goals in life.

 

While in college, Chaka began her journey with natural hair after a ten page paper on Black Hair for an African American Literature class.  Since then, she has fallen in love with herself and her new look.  Even though it has given her problems as far as landing modeling and dancing work, she refuses to give up her unique beauty in order fit into the society's mold of a model or dancer.

 

Chaka graduated from Cheyney University (America's Oldest HBCU, 1837) where she received her degree with honors in Communications. In the fall of 2008, she will be attending graduate school at Penn State University where she will work on her masters in Leadership Development. 

 

Chaka is a proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc.  On her spare time, she volunteers at MANNA, an organization that delivers care and hope by nourishing people at acute nutritional risk from a life-threatening illness.

 

Chaka is an artist, dancer, actress, model and mother of an active eight year old son.  Her deep passion for performing arts and thirst to interact with every aspect of it is the drive that keeps this young triple threat (female, educated and black) going.
