REPUBLIC OF AKITA 

GLOBAL

Making new worlds real at the intersection of the personal, the cultural, & the narrative in between.

Rooted in two decades of transformative exploration, craft, & care, Republic of Akita Global is a Kaira Akita-led, slow innovation venture portfolio on a mission to answer one big, liberating question — how can we release old, limiting worlds and build new ones of our own instead? 

Our past, present, & future body of works co-exist to take this question from abstract possibility to tangible reality…one storied, personal-meets-cultural venture at a time.

Join us in thinking differently — and actually making it real — from our new worlds in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Johannesburg, Capetown, and London to yours. 

Celebrating The Worlds That Were.

For over two decades, ROAG founder-creator Kaira Akita has lived & worked with an intuitive wisdom for making new worlds real for herself and others while also feeling the squeeze of her own limiting inner world systems at every turn.   The result? She’s crafted a deeply personal & powerful narrative archive of grief, growth, and gratitude worth sharing (and celebrating!) as she approaches twenty five years of worldbuilding in 2026. It’s a party for the past — and you’re invited.

OUR FUTURE BODY OF WORK


What new worlds are possible beyond the limits of late-stage capitalism? At ROAG, we’re placing our bets on The Creation Age — a golden era for founder-creators where slow, steady, and small offer new worlds of being, thinking, and doing that actually feel good to live in. Here’s ours.

Our Worlds. From A to G.

A woman enjoying her own frequency, Kaira Akita is a category defining founder-creator who dreams deeply and often about how to make new worlds real for herself, her people, and creative organizations fighting the good fight outside the limits of traditional capitalist systems. Her gifted-divergent thinking style plays equally well with left-brained, right-brained, and emotionally-centered concepts — ensuring that her body of works are infinitely diverse and yet still singular, integrated, and uniquely her own. 

Kaira earned her B.A. in Sociology from the University of Georgia and started her career in nonprofit arts management before segueing out front as one of the pioneering local actresses in Atlanta’s early entertainment scene — best known for fan favorite roles in Why Did I Get Married (Keisha), The Family That Preys (Robin), and the Sundance film turned BET’s first scripted television series, Somebodies (Diva). Additionally, her directing and development projects have been featured at Women in Film Los Angeles’ Mentor Circle Program, the Los Angeles Women’s Theatre Festival, Niecy Nash’s Chocolate Chick Inc. production company, Kids at Play, BET, Food Network, Hallmark Channel, TV One, and the HerArts Film Lab in Paestum, Italy. 

Kaira was born in Washington DC and raised in Wiesbaden, Germany as a first-generation global creative Black girl with her parents, Willie and Donna, and her sister Kia. She lives, works, and rests in her own sweet (s)pace between Los Angeles, Atlanta, Johannesburg, Capetown, and London. Most recently, she completed her first international founder-creator residency at genKati House South Africa and is slated to release her first personal artifact project, The Worlds That Were, in 2026.
