Akilah currently serves as a Co-Executive Producer on CBS’s hit comedy, Ghosts. However, before moving to Los Angeles to become a two-time Emmy-losing comedy writer, Akilah spent several years working as a lawyer-lobbyist on Washington, D.C.’s infamous “K Street.” Since that time, Akilah has written for such shows as HBO's A Black Lady Sketch Show and Taika Waititi's Time Bandits on Apple TV. She was nominated for Emmys for her work on both of those shows. She has also worked on Amazon's Yearly Departed, which earned her a Gracie Award and two WGA award nominations, Black Monday on Showtime, and Issa Rae's Rap Sh!t on HBO Max. Beyond scripted TV, Akilah has worked on major specials like The 72nd Primetime Emmys and Jon Stewart: The Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize.
