38: Amber Webb Sims
In today's episode I am speaking with my guest, Amber Webb Sims. This is one of the most powerful episodes I've recorded.
Amber and I discuss her career as an attorney and how she uses her voice to demystify information. Amber shares what it means to divest from white supremacy, how racial capitalism affects Black people, Black pain being profitable, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) being trendy. Amber also shares:
—why we must speak about pay inequity in the workplace
—why labor is not aspirational
—silence being a tool for white supremacy.
36. Black Women Woes Part II
Today's episode was inspired by Black Women Woes Part I but with a new group of beautiful, inspiring, powerful, and passionate women: Amber Webb Sims, Courtney Napier, Faitth Brooks and Sharifa.
This discussion felt like love, family, strength personified, and spiritual. We laughed, held space for each other, snapped fingers, and said amen more than once. Having these heart talks are why my podcast exist In today's discussion we talk about faith, boundaries, self-care, relationships, white supremacy, and more. This is an epic collaboration!
