Keanu M. Jackson, LCSW, is a facilitator, speaker, and organizational consultant committed to creating spaces where equity, care, and humanity are not just spoken values—but lived practices. He brings a deeply relational and trauma-informed approach to every room he enters, balancing clarity and compassion to support individuals and institutions in doing transformative, values-aligned work.

As a queer Black survivor of racial and sexual trauma, Keanu’s lens is shaped by lived experience and a nuanced understanding of how systemic violence, cultural neglect, and historical oppression impact the body, the psyche, and the collective. His work emerges from a desire to interrupt those harms, while building toward liberatory structures rooted in safety, accountability, and belonging.

Keanu is known for his ability to hold complexity—inviting dialogue that is both challenging and affirming. He helps teams and communities move through discomfort with curiosity, offering grounded strategies that center repair, dignity, and the agency of those most impacted. He resists rigid, pathologizing models of care and instead champions a more expansive approach to growth—one that makes room for contradiction, emotion, and experimentation.

At the heart of his work is a commitment to honoring the lives, labor, and brilliance of other queer and trans Black and Brown people. Whether in clinical spaces, facilitation rooms, or strategic partnerships, Keanu brings both rigor and tenderness, drawing from ancestral wisdom, embodied knowledge, and a politic of joy.

He believes that healing and accountability are not at odds. In fact, they must coexist for liberation to be possible.
