Akilah is an amazing leader, she's a fierce advocate, and she is a fearless fundraiser. Everyone here at Texas Women's Foundation appreciates everything Akilah did for us when she was here, and we all call ourselves "super fans". In fact, she is one of the people on the planet that I most adore, and I know she's going to make some really good trouble...
