Akia Bensha Scott departed her life on April 23, 2024, in Texarkana Texas. She was such a beautiful soul inside and out with that beautiful smile and stand- on business personality. Akia was born on January 21, 1994, to Shasta Richard and Charles Scott in Texarkana Texas. Akia graduated from Texas Senior High School and Texas A& M University- Texarkana. She found her passion as a REACH Instructor with Texarkana Independent School District which eventually led to her transition into an Academic Credit Dual Credit role with Texarkana College where she continued to help students strive to reach their academic goals.
