Career Akagha attended Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, where she majored in theatre. In the early 2010s, she acted in theatrical productions in California. In 2010, she played Tiger Lily in the Pacific Conservatory of the Performing Arts's production of Peter Pan. In 2011, she acted alongside Brendan Cataldo in Leo Cortez's play, Acting Out, at the Alisal Center for the Fine Arts. In 2012, Akagha began playing the leads in various short films and making guest appearances in television series. She appeared in one-off episodes in the series Men at Work, Nashville and 2 Broke Girls.
Akagha started voice acting in video games around 2016, first voicing the character "Plastic" in the game Mirror's Edge: Catalyst. In 2017, she was a voice actor for Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, in which she provided voices for characters Barbara Casey, Zena Woodard, and Angela Cummings.
In 2018, she began appearing in Marvel's Runaways television series as Tamar, a recurring, supporting role.

The character was first introduced in the game Half-Life 2 in 2004, being originally played by Merle Dandridge.
