Ocesa B. Keaton
Advocate. Strategist. Connector

I’m Ocesa Keaton — a community engagement strategist and the founder of OBK Consulting. I help organizations build trust, deepen connection, and engage communities with clarity and intention.

As the former Executive Director of a citywide anti‑poverty initiative, I led a community‑driven approach that advanced resident‑centered solutions and directed over $1.3 million into neighborhoods experiencing concentrated poverty. With expertise in social justice, disability justice, health equity, and anti‑poverty interventions, I bring a grounded, human approach to every room I enter. My work has supported colleges, nonprofits, and community groups committed to meaningful, equity‑centered change
