She received the 1999 SHINE (Sexual Health in Entertainment) Award presented by The Media Project for her Moesha episode "Birth Control."

Akil later served as Supervising Producer on the comedy series The Jamie Foxx Show. For the 2000-01 television season, Akil created her first show, Girlfriends (2000), which she and Kelsey Grammer executive produced.
