Starting Over Again From Divorce

In this interview, Amber shared her story of pain and suffering in her marriage that ultimately ended in divorce. 

Amber shared during the interview that everything she shared has already been made public. I believe there is power in naming your story and how it's impacted you so others can be liberated to do the same. 

Below is Amber's bio:

Attorney. Speaker. Writer. Abolitionist. 

These are just a few words that describe Amber Webb Sims. As a trial lawyer with nearly 100 first chair jury trials, Amber is among the top attorneys in Texas as measured by actual cases tried. But her gift and passion are empowering people through making complicated, intimidating information understandable, engaging, practical, and fun. This passion has extended beyond the courtroom to topics such as theology, politics, and social justice.

After graduating from The Hockaday School in 2003, Amber got a B.A. in Political Science from The George Washington University. Afterwards, she obtained her Doctor of Jurisprudence, cum laude, from Texas Tech University School of Law. She worked briefly as an Assistant District Attorney in Dallas County during the tenure of Craig Watkins, the first African-American elected District Attorney in the State of Texas. Her primary field of practice is insurance defense litigation, and Amber has worked in a top insurance defense law firm as well as for three of the largest carriers in the country. Amber currently works as Assistant Vice President, Senior Legal Counsel in Litigation for AT&T, and her responsibilities include handling personal injury, premises liability, catastrophic loss, wrongful death, and commercial dispute cases in the six states that make up old Southwestern Bell.

In her spare time, Amber co-hosts the Broke-ish podcast with Erika Brown, and they discuss the systemic and interpersonal impacts of racism and injustice on the Black community. She also regularly appears on radio shows, virtual events, and churches – discussing a wide range of issues. She lives in Prosper, Texas with her husband, and they have a blended family of six children.
