Jacqelle Lane, M.Ed.

Avid supporter of arts in education

Jacqelle attributes much of her success in high school and college to retaining her participation in the arts and encourages her students to get involved even at a very early age. Jacqelle even created all of the illustrations for her book “From Bully to Bestie” and finds the arts to be a great therapeutic strategy in dealing with stress and anxiety for both children and adults alike.

The Book: From Bully to Bestie.

From Bully to Bestie” is a guide for students, teachers, parents, and counselors on strategies that students can use to cope with bullying behavior and create more positive behaviors along the way.

What People Say

Jacqelle is a unicorn. She has all the savvy and strategic thinking necessary to lead a team or organization, and she has all the empathy and genuine desire to help to inspire others to reach their goals and stretch their capabilities. I have had the privilege of working with Jacqelle on the board of Owlish, as well as some additional projects that have come our way. She has a way of reading a room with compassion and putting people at ease. Her leadership abilities and creative intellect, coupled with her belief in inclusion and equity, enable her to create imaginative and empathetic programs, to enable and empower the people around her, and to articulate a vision that is easy to believe in. She is an educator through and through and truly believes in the power of people to create change and improve lives. I cannot recommend Jacqelle highly enough as a speaker, mentor, and leader.Jacqelle is a unicorn.

I was introduced to Jacqelle by the Nebraska State Education Association during my Legislative Campaign in 2022 and am I glad we got connected. Her direct advocacy work with educations and teachers speaks volumes to her career and passion. I also had the opportunity to participate in her Podcast, Education with an Edge, which centers around mental health, bullying, and mentorship for youth in our communities. It was a pleasure and I can’t wait to be back and continue to support all that she does.

I have counted it one of the most precious gifts to have been introduced to Jacqelle Lane. I now have the privilege of having worked with her and I cannot say that I know of another educator who is likewise an author, speaker, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion advocate, mental health coach and an anti-bullying advocate. Jacqelle has an impressive and lengthy resume (to include both work experience and degrees earned) and has worked over the past 2 years championing inclusive policy at the local, state and federal levels in order to carefully and intentionally architect change for the betterment of society. She also has launched campaigns and released two youth/ children books in the same 2 year time span. Just as the policy she advocates for, her books offer voice to youth of all kinds, but especially those who are underrepresented, under-served and marginalized (to include those of color, those with ability-related needs and those who identify as apart of the LGBTQ+ community). Jacqelle is a committed leader with an immense amount of professionalism and compassion. She embodies a remarkable level of diplomacy and is a dynamic presenter. I am most confident that any professional, entity or organization fortunate enough to share space with her or seeking her services will be impressed upon delivery.I have counted it one of the most precious gifts to have been introduced to Jacqelle Lane.

Metro Magazine: CELEBRATING WOMEN: JACQELLE LANE A Calling to the Classroom

“I think it’s good for kids to know that anything is possible, and you should never sell yourself short,” Jacqelle Lane said. “I like to tell my students that I never thought a little girl from Ogallala, Nebraska—population 5,000—would be a published author and have a podcast and the kind of reach I have.”

Omaha Magazine: Jacqelle Lane Turns Heartache into Inspiration

Jacqelle Lane is at an age where people ask her, do you have children? While she could get off ended or defensive, she doesn’t. Instead, she replies: “I certainly do. I have 136 of them I teach every day. And, I love them like they are my own.”
