Inclusive Communities (inclusive-communities.org) is proud to announce the return of the Jane H. & Rabbi Sidney H. Brooks Conversations for Change, a signature community dialogue series honoring the enduring legacy of two of Omaha’s most beloved humanitarian leaders. The fourth annual event will feature triple Daytime Emmy® Award winning journalist, bestselling author, and leadership speaker Gaby Natale on March 17, 2026, from 10:30–11:30 a.m. at the Holland Performing Arts Center in downtown Omaha.
Jane H. Brooks and Rabbi Sidney H. Brooks were pioneers whose lives were dedicated to justice, dignity, and belonging. Throughout their decades of service, they championed mental health awareness, fair housing, education, employment equity, and civil rights, all values that continue to shape Omaha’s civic and moral fabric. Their daughter, Miriam Brooks, generously seeded the launch of Conversations for Change to ensure their commitment to courageous dialogue and community transformation would live on for generations.
This year’s conversation will explore what it means to be a pioneer. A transformative voice in leadership, Gaby Natale made history as the first Latina to win three consecutive Daytime Emmy® Awards and the first Hispanic author published by HarperCollins Leadership. A breast cancer survivor and Susan G. Komen ambassador, Natale is also the founder of Menopausia.com, the first bilingual femtech platform supporting women through midlife transitions.
The event is free and open to the public. Community members are encouraged to reserve their seats at TicketOmaha.com.
