After graduating from college, Be originated the role of Eurydice in Anaïs Mitchell’s off-Broadway play Hadestown in 2016. This was her first professional theater role. In 2017, she starred as Ericka in the Jocelyn Bioh’s production of School Girls; or, the African Mean Girls Play, directed by Rebecca Taichman. For her role as Ericka, she won a 2018 Drama Desk Award.

In 2020, Be featured on the song "Querera" by Brazilian singer and politician Margareth Menezes.

Be made her film debut in 2018's Black Panther, appearing as Linda, an associate of Erik Killmonger. In 2023, Be made her television debut as Simone Jackson on Daisy Jones & the Six, stating that she drew inspiration from Donna Summer, Diana Ross, and Chaka Khan—as well as lesser-known artists such as Merry Clayton, Linda Clifford, and Claudia Lennear.

Though the teenage girls at the center of Jocelyn Bioh's endearing and poignant SCHOOL GIRLS; OR, THE AFRICAN MEAN GIRLS PLAY all have wonderful qualities that should be appreciated and nurtured during their years at Aburi Girls Boarding School in central Ghana, there is one quality that prevents them all from having a chance to represent their country in the 1986 Miss Universe Pageant. They all look like a teenage girl from Ghana.
