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.

What People Say

Jacqelle is an incredible community partner and champion of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the Omaha community. She truly understands the importance of culture and identity, and the impact on well-being and social and emotional learning on students and community members. In her capacity at OCM, she's been wonderful to work with as we plan for Afro Fest Omaha and the Dunia Youth Festival, never hesitating to offer ideas and support with resources and programming, to reach a valuable and yet under served and mostly unrepresented demographic in the city. She's a wonderful advocate and the type of leader who sees a need and steps in to help meet it without hesitation. Omaha is lucky to have her!

Since joining the Omaha Children’s Museum team, Jackie has been a true example of leadership and a reliable source for professional direction. As the VP of DEI&CQI, she has not only created initiatives to provide awareness on diversity in the workplace (though avenues like trainings and committee management), but she does a great job at encouraging others to take leadership in the continual evolving topic. She also leads the push on establishing and maintaining a quality standard of the museum, which will be vital in the sustainability of the museums brand and reputation from the inside out. Her intricate role / work at the museum is greatly appreciated.

I have had the pleasure to know Jacqelle for 6 years, and now get to work along side her every day at the Omaha Children's Museum. Her passion for DEIA and to provide a inclusive learning space in early childhood education has been evident the entire time I've known her. This passion led me to join the team here at OCM. Her approach with vigorous work ethic paired with compassion and understanding not only makes her shine bright, but provides the ability for the students and families she cares about so deeply to shine and thrive. Jacqelle approaches every effort whether it be big or small with the same tenacity and diligence. I am proud to not only call Jacqelle a coworker but a dear friend.

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.

“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.”
