Gaby Natale Brings Message of Vision, Opportunity, and Courage to Omaha
Omaha will soon welcome a nationally recognized voice in leadership, media, and empowerment when Gaby Natale comes to town as the featured guest for the 4th Annual Jane H. & Rabbi Sidney H. Brooks Conversations for Change. Hosted by Inclusive Communities, the free public event will take place at 10:30 a.m. on March 17, 2026, at the Holland Performing Arts Center in downtown Omaha.
The event will bring community members together for a meaningful conversation about courage, perspective, and the ability to recognize opportunities others may overlook. Through Conversations for Change, Inclusive Communities continues to create space for dialogue that challenges assumptions and inspires action.
Natale, a best-selling author, speaker, entrepreneur, and three-time Daytime Emmy Award-winning journalist, has built a career around breaking barriers and encouraging others to think beyond limitations. In a video shared ahead of the event, Natale says she will be “sharing some powerful ideas about how pioneers spot opportunities others miss and how shifting the way we see the world can open doors we didn’t even know existed.” Her message invites people to rethink what is possible for themselves and their community.
The event also continues a growing tradition for Inclusive Communities. Established in 2022 through a gift from Miriam Brooks in honor of her parents, Jane H. and Rabbi Sidney H. Brooks, the Conversations for Change series has brought influential voices to Omaha each year. Previous featured guests have included actor Kal Penn in 2023, Bob the Drag Queen in 2024, and Emmy-winning actress and producer Storm Reid in 2025.
Natale’s own story adds even more depth to the moment. Through her work in journalism, publishing, and public speaking, she has built a career around helping others recognize possibilities, challenge assumptions, and pioneer new paths forward. Her presence aligns naturally with the mission of Inclusive Communities, which works to confront prejudice, bigotry, and discrimination through education, dialogue, and community engagement.
Set for 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. at the Holland Performing Arts Center, the event is free and open to the public, offering Omaha residents the opportunity to hear from a speaker whose work sits at the intersection of leadership, perspective, and personal transformation. In a time when many communities are asking deeper questions about how change happens, Natale’s visit promises to be both timely and thought-provoking.
