Akida has been playing for the Harambee Starlets since 2012 and was part of the 2016 Africa Womens' Cup of Nations, where she found the back of the net against Ghana in a tournament that was held in Cameroon. Although Kenya lost 3-1 to the West African rivals, she scored the first-ever goal for Kenya in the competition. Her arrival, though it is on a short-term deal, could help Thika Queens offer a strong challenge against Vihiga Queens, who have been a dominant outfit in the competition for the last three seasons. She is a product of the Moving the Goalposts organisation that is domiciled in Kilifi County and apart from Thika Queens, she has also played for Spedag in the local scene.
