A former participant in Inclusive Communities’ IncluCity program will be a featured speaker at the nonprofit organization’s upcoming Humanitarian Brunch.

Precious Brady-Davis will give the keynote at the brunch, which is scheduled for Sunday, April 19, at the Scott Conference Center.

Brady-Davis is the central region communications manager for Sierra Club’s Beyond Coal Campaign. She previously spent three years as assistant director of diversity recruitment initiatives at Columbia College Chicago. She also was the youth outreach coordinator at the largest LGBT community center in the Midwest.

“She finds deep meaning in examining the roots of what proliferates bias, bigotry, and prejudice in our world,” according to an Inclusive Communities news release. “Through celebrating the beauty of coexistence, uplifting/centering the stories of those who are most marginalized and seeing that all issues that affect the human condition are interconnected, she invites all who come in contact with her to see the resilience that lives within us all.”

Brady-Davis is an Omaha native who attended the Unitown program, a four-day retreat now known as IncluCity. She said it was one of the most powerful experiences in her life.

“I am so excited to share the effect Inclusive Communities had on my life,” she said in a release.

Maggie Wood, the nonprofit’s executive director, said the group is thrilled to feature Brady-Davis.

“She lives and breathes diversity and inclusion, and we are honored that she will be sharing the personal impact Inclusive Communities has had on her life,” Wood said in a release.

The event includes a mimosa and Bloody Mary happy hour and a hosted brunch and program.

Tickets will go on sale in January. They will cost $100 each, of which $65 is tax-deductible.
