A NEW Lifestyle and Community Empowerment Magazine
serving African-Americans in the Greater Omaha Area

Revive! Omaha Magazine will serve this audience by recognizing, celebrating and empowering African-American achievements and accomplishments.

African-Americans have a rich history and legacy in our area. International history-makers, business professionals, athletes, entertainers, pastors, elected officials, community leaders and others with great influence have called and still call Omaha home. What you may not know is that African-Americans have over 2,000 businesses in the State of Nebraska, over 150 predominantly African-American churches and that’s just the start.

Despite what you may hear in other places… We work. We shop. We play. We Worship. We live! Each month we will present the positive story of African-Americans who are making a difference and living life with purpose in the Greater Omaha Area.
