In a world where technology is rapidly reshaping how we live and work, Kayla Life is ensuring that progress includes everyone, especially those historically excluded from innovation. As a tech educator, AI strategist, and founder of multiple groundbreaking initiatives, Kayla is a powerful force leading a movement for tech equity with purpose.
Kayla is the founder of The Rebrand Creative Agency, Rebrandland AI, and the Rebrand Institute of Tech Equity (RITE). Each of these organizations shares a common mission: to empower nonprofits and educational institutions by streamlining operations through branding and AI-powered systems. As an Impact Strategist, she works closely with mission-driven teams to implement smart, scalable solutions that amplify their impact while preserving their humanity.
For Kayla, this work is personal. She believes in the power of community-centered technology to close access gaps and create lasting change.
Her superpower is synthesizing complexity. She partners with visionary founders who have brilliant ideas but need structure and clarity. Kayla takes what feels like chaos and transforms it into clear, actionable strategy. This ability to organize, align, and activate is what sets her apart in the competitive tech and innovation landscape.
But Kayla’s journey hasn’t always been linear. As a Black woman in tech, she understands what it means to feel othered. Her advice to her younger self is simple yet profound: trust that your difference is your distinction. The very things that make you feel out of place will become your greatest assets.
This mindset has guided her throughout her career and fuels her commitment to mentorship. She believes that experienced Black women reaching back is legacy work. They are the blueprint, and when they reach back, they build bridges for those coming behind them to walk across with clarity and confidence. Mentorship, she says, is both seed and harvest.
A shining example of legacy and leadership, Kayla’s proudest achievement to date is building the first fully integrated AI ecosystem for nonprofits through Rebrandland AI. What makes it remarkable is not just the technology but how she did it: centering community, equity, and storytelling while becoming a first-time mom.
Kayla draws inspiration from trailblazers like Shirley Chisholm, a political pioneer who shattered norms and led unapologetically. She didn’t wait for permission to lead, speak, or disrupt. Her courage paved the way for women like Kayla to show up fully, even when they are considered too much for the room.
In her work, Kayla prioritizes a human-first approach to customer service, creating experiences that empower rather than simply serve. It is never just a transaction. Every client interaction is an opportunity to build trust, deliver excellence, and uplift.
To stay relevant in such a fast-evolving industry, Kayla remains rooted. While many chase trends, she listens deeply to what communities actually need. She stays ahead by staying grounded in culture, community, and curiosity. She doesn’t just follow innovation. She helps redefine it.
Kayla also credits her growth to the support of powerful mentors. Organizations like The PIT Atlanta and leaders like Khadijah Robinson and Kim Jolasun played a pivotal role in helping her refine her vision and bring Rebrandland AI to life. They didn’t just advise. They activated.
Looking to the future, Kayla envisions a world where tech doesn’t exploit but elevates. She is building an ecosystem where social good leads innovation and where nonprofits can thrive with access to tools that were once out of reach.
Kayla Life is not just changing the game. She is rewriting the rules. As she builds a future centered on equity, impact, and legacy, she is proving that the most powerful innovations begin with purpose.
