Publicist and Phlianthorpist of JSW Media Group Jameka Whitten, Special Guest

Many people talk about leaving their mark on the entertainment industry only to find space is limited. There are existing marks on the entertainment industry and they all read, Jameka S. Whitten was here. To call her a Renaissance woman is an understatement. And to think her storm has subsided is a huge mistake. She continues to shift the atmosphere with her fierce style, get-it-done tenacity and creative flair. Jameka served as the Co-Founder and former Executive Creative Director for SOTAC (State of the Arts & Culture) Magazine (now SOTACi) until her entrepreneurial flame was lit in 2007; and she decided to concentrate on nurturing her enterprise- JSW Media Group; a boutique public relations, marketing and brand management firm focused on the entertainment, fashion and publishing fields. In addition to owning JSW Media Group and serving as CEO, Jameka played an integral role as a founding member and former COO for Amped 4-A-Cure, Inc., a non-profit organization that supports cancer research through music. Her most important philanthropic project to date is serving as a Red Pump Ambassador for The Red Pump Project™, a national nonprofit that raises awareness about the impact of HIV/AIDS on women and girls. In 2013, Jameka was hired to lead the communications and marketing efforts of independent label NuVybe Records serving the company as Executive Vice President, reporting directly to CEO, music industry veteran Herb Middleton. When not juggling the demands of entrepreneurship, Jameka wears the hat of a seasoned speaker/spokesperson for various commercial, editorial, event hosting and television/video assignments. She holds a bachelor’s in Communication Studies with a concentration in Broadcast Journalism from Northwestern University and a master’s in Organizational Management from University of Phoenix.  She is committed to philanthropic causes and esteems the idea of making a difference in the lives of others.
