She is the choreographer of Friendship Baptist’s Praise Dance. Akilah joined Spirit of the Moment at age 17, Akilah proclaims that, “Spirit of the Moment has been sisterhood of Christian women who have kept me on the straight and narrow. These women have experienced life, give great advise, and give you that extra push when you need it to help better myself as a Christian and as a young woman.” Akilah is currently a student at Wayne State University where her major is Actuarial Science. She is member and captain of the WSU Warrior Pom Team. Akilah believes that without God she wouldn’t have been blessed with these talents.
