Hi! I'm Lilly Akuma, queer nomad, drag artist and storyteller with a master's degree in Computer Science, years of experience in business, and a heart that beats for community and connection.
Over the past seven years, I've built teams in boardrooms, performed around the world and sparked conversations in places where identity is often ignored. I connect tech, queerness and global wisdom in unforgettable conversations that are about identity, inclusion and empowerment, not just for Pride, but for any space ready for real change.
This Pride Month, we're going beyond rainbows.
I'm bringing Pride to life, with depth, joy and genuine honesty. No hollow corporate slogans, but stories that touch. From team lunch to international event, I take audiences on a journey that stays with them.

About diversity, leadership, creativity or queer empowerment, I speak with guts, love and sharpness.

From the moment she stepped on stage, she captivated everyone with her sharp insights and unfiltered authenticity. She effortlessly bridges the gap between the business and creative worlds, making you feel that anything is possible. Lilly challenges you to redefine success, embrace your true self and break through barriers. Her keynotes are not only inspiring, but they make you look at the world differently. It is impossible to hear her story without feeling the urge to take big steps yourself. In conclusion, Lilly Akuma is an absolute must for anyone who is ready to push boundaries and take the next step. 10 out of 10 - unforgettable! (via E-mail)

Her life story is one you don't often come across and makes you realize that anything is possible. We can't wait to book her again. 10 out of 10, absolutely! (via E-mail)

Anything but boring. Don't book Lilly if you don't like change. From the very first moment, she makes you rethink everything you've always taken for granted. Whether it's work, teams or culture, Lilly's deep knowledge of diversity, inclusion and her technical and business expertise are impressive. She is a successful entrepreneur - first in IT and now as a performer. I would definitely book her. Let yourself be surprised! 5 out of 5! (via E-mail)

Lilly spoke at one of our coorporate events, and it was an absolute pleasure. From the very beginning her communication was not only efficient but thoughtful, ensuring that everything is seamless. She has a remarkable ability to bring people together and build connections with incredible energy. The entire team was very satisfied with her performance, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would definitely book her again for a similar event. Her unique talent, combined with her extensive knowledge, made a lasting impression. Thank you Lilly for bringing such magic to our events! I would rate her 5/5. (via E-mail)
