REPUBLIC OF AKITA
GLOBAL
2026 and Beyond
Making new worlds possible — for real! — at the intersection of feeling deeply, thinking differently, & breaking new sociocreative ground.
Because every old, limiting world is made up — so how do we create new, liberating ones of our own instead?
This is our mission and expertise at Republic of Akita Global.
Grounded in Kaira Akita’s two decades of lived thought leadership across seven worldbuilding categories, our life-work venture portfolio takes this question from abstract possibility to tangible reality — made for those with the call & the capacity to feel deeply, think differently, and break new sociocreative ground.
Ready? Let’s make it real, in real time. Together.

Meet the Founder-Creator
HI, I’M KAIRA AKITA.

A quick internet search lists me as an actor, director, and producer. All facts. But not necessarily the truth. Yes, there is a difference.
Fact: I played Keisha in Why Did I Get Married. I'm that receptionist from The Family That Preys. I was the girl on BET's first scripted series Somebodies. Yes, you've seen me on Being Mary Jane, Dolly Parton's Heartstrings, House of Payne, Star, and other TV stuff here and there since 2008. And yes, I've directed and produced independent work you haven't heard of (yet!).
Truth: My entertainment career is a small, fluctuating piece of my greater body of work. I am, first and foremost, a founder-creator who cares deeply about elevating the quality of identity, life, and work for the slow, sociocreative human experience. Because when creators have the time & space to be, think, and lead well, new worlds open up for everyone.
So, whether you love my entertainment work or feel called to support my big, creative ideas in the world, there’s so much I’m ready to share with you in 2026 and beyond. I’m so glad you’re here.

A Hollywood outlier and the all-in founder-creator behind her Republic of Akita Global life-work venture portfolio, Kaira Akita is forever invested in using stories and systems to make new worlds possible for herself, her people, and futurist organizations building beyond the limits of late-stage capitalism.
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, writing, and producing 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., Kids at Play, JuVee Productions, BET, Food Network, Hallmark Channel, TV One, and most recently, the 2024 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.
