Brea Ross
CEO & Founder
Hi everyone! I’m excited to reconnect and reintroduce myself to this online community.
I’m Brea Ross-Worthington, Founder & CEO of Lyfe Changes Resource Center, Inc. As an Omaha native with deep roots in North Omaha, my life’s work has centered around advocacy, child welfare, community education, and social justice.
For more than a decade, I’ve been honored to serve families, support youth, and work alongside community leaders through initiatives like Resilient Roots, as well as powerful collaborations such as our partnership with Georgia’s House of Hope. Together, these efforts reflect my commitment to building strong, connected, and supported communities.
My passion has always been simple:
Help people reach their best.
Advocate for those who cannot advocate for themselves.
Strengthen and empower Black and Brown communities.
I’m proud to serve actively at St. Benedict the Moor Parish, where community, service, and faith guide so much of what I do. Whether volunteering at church events, hosting community forums, or offering family support during challenging moments, I believe in staying hands-on and accessible.
As Lyfe Changes continues to grow—with new programs, partnerships, and community-driven projects—I’m committed to remaining present, transparent, and deeply connected to the people we serve.
Thank you all for your ongoing love and support. I’m looking forward to sharing more resources, updates, and opportunities to collaborate.
Let’s keep changing lives, one connection at a time.

Ajamal Rashad Byndon
Board Vice President
A’Jamal-Rashad Byndon has dedicated decades of service, mentorship, and unwavering commitment to equity and justice in Nebraska, with a leadership focus on building sustainable, community-centered systems of support. Since the incorporation of Lyfe Changes Resource Center, Inc. in 2021, A’Jamal has served as Vice President, helping guide the organization’s vision, governance, and accountability in service to communities historically excluded from equitable access to resources.
Born in Hastings and raised in a family of 14, A’Jamal brings a lived understanding of community, resilience, and shared responsibility to his leadership at Lyfe Changes. His work emphasizes transparency, systems accountability, and intentional stewardship of resources to ensure meaningful, long-term impact for People of Color and low-income families.
A’Jamal’s leadership is informed by a lifetime of advocacy and institution-building.

His commitment to education includes teaching Multicultural and Black Studies at the University of Nebraska and Metropolitan Community College, launching the first diversity course at Nebraska Methodist College, and developing the first academic course on poverty for the University of Nebraska at Omaha Honors Program.
In addition to his role at Lyfe Changes, A’Jamal currently serves as Chair of the Board of the Movement in Omaha for Racial Equity and has a long history of cross-community leadership, including being one of the first African Americans to serve on the board of the Latino Center of the Midlands over 30 years ago. Across these roles, he has been a staunch advocate for equitable systems, particularly expanding access to legal services in under-resourced communities in North and South Omaha and statewide to help eliminate Nebraska’s “legal deserts.”
After graduating from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, A’Jamal served two years in the Peace Corps in the Republic of Botswana and later spent 25 years as Public Policy Senior Director at Catholic Charities. He is also the proud parent of four adult children, all college graduates.
