Keonia “Ke-Ke” Williams is an actress, writer, and producer originally from Washington, D.C. She began her acting journey at the age of 9 in community theater before transitioning into film and television. Her on-screen credits include Dear Eleanor, The Accountant, the Netflix original film Amateur, and the Netflix series Daybreak.
Even with her disabilities, Keonia has forged a successful path in the entertainment industry, bringing both passion and purpose to every project she touches. She is the co-founder of Soldier Up Productions, alongside her mother and creative partner, Angel Williams. Together, they are currently producing 55, a feature documentary spotlighting the legendary 1993 Dunbar High School basketball team in Washington, D.C.
Keonia recently produced her first short film, In Real Life, and wrote, directed, and starred in the upcoming short It’s You, Not Me, now in post-production. She also serves as the Production Coordinator on the short film I Got Next, while developing her debut feature-length script, Rare.
Her mission as a disabled filmmaker is to create inclusive, authentic stories that reflect underrepresented communities — both on screen and behind the scenes.
