Chaka Pilgrim
Chaka Pilgrim is the founder of Chakaworks – a marketing consulting organization and the head of film and television for Shawn Carter Enterprises. She is the former president and artist manager at Jay-Z’s Roc Nation records. Considered a veteran in the music business, Pilgrim has worked with Kanye West, Meek Mill, and J. Cole to name a few.
A jane of all trades it seems as she’s served as producer on the films “State Property” and “Paid in Full.”
Recently she was nominated for her video production work on Jay-Z’s video “The Story of O.J.”
Humble and humorous, Pilgrim revealed to an audience at a summit event, “Humility is key if you really want to know what you’re doing. I’ll do whatever it takes to make sure that I immerse myself in the process because it’s really immersive. And I think you don’t know what situation you can learn from, but I’m going back to that place in my life of trying to figure it out. Basically, I don’t know what I’m doing is what I’m saying.”
