By Margaret Barrett

After much anticipation, Inclusive Communities is proud to announce the featured guest for the 4th Annual Jane H. & Rabbi Sidney H. Brooks Conversations for Change.

Gaby Natale, a triple Daytime Emmy® Award–winning journalist, bestselling author, entrepreneur, and leadership speaker, will take the stage at the Holland Performing Arts Center in downtown Omaha on March 17, 2026, from 10:30–11:30 a.m. The event is free and open to the public and will explore what it means to be a pioneer and embrace individuality in an ever-changing world. Reserve your spot on Jan. 5 via TicketOmaha.com and be part of something bigger.

A transformative voice in leadership and reinvention, Natale made history as the first Latina to win three consecutive Daytime Emmys® and the first Hispanic author published by HarperCollins Leadership. A dynamic bilingual keynote speaker and master emcee, she has been trusted by global brands including P&G, Microsoft, Johnson & Johnson, Walmart, Google, PepsiCo, Century 21, and Estée Lauder, and has hosted and moderated conversations at iconic venues such as the Kennedy Center, the United Nations, and the Emmys.

A breast cancer survivor and Susan G. Komen ambassador, Natale is also the founder of Menopausia.com, the first bilingual femtech platform supporting women navigating midlife transitions. She has been named one of People’s 25 Most Powerful Latinas and a Woman of Influence by SUCCESS Magazine, with features in Forbes, CNN, NBC News, BuzzFeed, and Univision.

Jane H. and Rabbi Sidney H. Brooks were beloved humanitarian leaders and pioneers in Omaha, known for their advocacy for mental health awareness, fair housing, education, employment, and civil rights. Their daughter, Miriam Brooks, generously gifted to help launch Conversations for Change to honor their legacy through courageous dialogue and community impact.

“When we learned about Gaby’s trailblazing achievements over her career and her focus on representation for the Latino community not only in journalism, but also as an entrepreneur, we knew she was the perfect choice,” said Cammy Watkins, Executive Director of Inclusive Communities. “Her approach to inclusion and equity focused on meeting people where they are is so in alignment with how Inclusive Communities enacts our mission, and I can’t wait to sit down and have a conversation with her.”
