Connect. Engage. Support.

In the Summer of 2018, 30 Black influencers gathered with the intention of helping Omaha Black residents feel more connected to city-wide events, local resources and community networks. Connect Black Omaha was born. We envision an Omaha that celebrates and cultivates intentionally curated spaces for Black residents.
