City, ST

Kayla Life is Founder & CEO of RebrandLand AI and Founder & Executive Director of the Rebrand Institute of Tech Equity (RITE), where she builds the on-ramps that get overlooked communities into the AI economy. A former Brooklyn middle school technology teacher who once built her own laptop cart, she's a Spelman College alumna, Google AI Fellow, two-time Watson Institute Fellow, and ranks among the top 1% of builders globally on Lovable. She's led 300+ AI workshops reaching more than 10,000 people and helped generate over $20.5M in community funding impact. Kayla's work sits at the intersection of technology access, nonprofit capacity, and community economic development — and she brings a rare combination of technical fluency and grassroots credibility to every room she enters. She also authors children's books focused on mental health for young readers, reflecting her belief that equity work starts early.
