My Journey

Where Boldness Meets Authentic Identity and Artistry

Lilly Akuma started as a personal journey of self-acceptance and evolved into a platform that challenges societal norms through storytelling and performance. After earning a cum laude Master’s in Computer Science, Lilly ventured into corporate leadership, co-founding the circular fashion brand BEELEAF along the way. Having lived in over ten countries, her diverse experiences inform her art and are reflected in her impactful performances and speeches. Lilly’s mission is to empower others, fostering a global community where everyone can express their true selves and take up space without apology.
