A trial attorney, political leader, and ecosystem architect who has spent more than two decades operating at the intersection of law, public policy, and institutional power.
A long-time Personal Injury Trial Attorney and founder of Lady Law Amber, she built and scaled her firm across Brownsville, McAllen, and now San Antonio, earning recognition as one of the Top 100 National Trial Lawyers in Texas, an honor reserved for only 100 attorneys statewide.
Amber served three terms as the elected Cameron County Democratic Party Chair (2013–2019) and was a two-time National Delegate. In 2020, she ran for Texas State Representative, District 37, mounting a formidable campaign against a well-funded incumbent who outspent her five to one, a testament to her willingness to challenge power structures head-on.
Her leadership extends beyond the courtroom and the ballot. Amber has served on numerous nonprofit boards across Texas, including Planned Parenthood of South Texas board, Mr. Amigo Board, Mariachi Cultura Association. She currently serves on the board of Y.E.S.! Youth Entrepreneurship Services, and is the Special Resouce Board member for the South Texas Special Olympics.
As Co-Founder of Club Conduit and Co-Host of the Baddie Rewrite Podcast, Amber brings her advocacy, strategic discipline, and fearless voice into rooms where women are ready to move from conversation to command. She is known for building spaces where reputation carries weight, proximity is protected, and women are positioned to operate with clarity, leverage, and influence.

Jacqueline co-founded Fulcrum Operating Partners on a single observation drawn from her own engagements: operating chaos inside a company is almost always a symptom of a constraint one layer up. Her work sits at that layer, in the decision-rights and accountability architecture that determines whether an operating intervention compounds or decays after the engagement ends.
She is typically brought in when a company has outgrown the operating model that got it here. Post-close, when the value creation plan meets an organization that was never built to deliver it. Mid-hold, when the bridge slips against model quarter after quarter with no single line anyone can point to. Or inside a founder-led business where growth has stalled and the leadership team agrees with the plan in the room and does not move on it afterward.
Seventeen years across business development, organizational strategy, and leadership recalibration, including Fortune 100 strategic planning engagements. At Fulcrum she leads the Performance Recalibration and Leadership Alignment practices and authored the Frame phase of the firm’s Portfolio Value Architecture methodology.
Driven by a belief in generational leverage, Jacqueline founded Y.E.S.! Youth Entrepreneurship Services, a nonprofit dedicated to equipping young entrepreneurs ages 11–18 with business skills that outlast economic cycles. Her mission is clear: close generational poverty gaps by instilling self-reliance, ownership, and enterprise literacy early.
Amber Wilkins and Jacqueline N. Hernandez paid their dues, but the return on their investment, was minimal.
Country Clubs and Socialite Clubs had the gleaming marble, curated wine lists, and high initiation fees marketed as exclusivity, with no direct referrals or consideration for their business needs. No introductions thoughtfully curated.
The rooms were expensive.
The influence was rationed.
Member visibility was politically managed. Every interaction came with another charge, ticket fee, another gate, another layer of limitation and catered to the boys club.
Women were welcomed, but not prioritized.
And once that became clear, participation ended.
Club Conduit was created to correct a structural flaw.
Not another networking society.
Not a social circle dressed in luxury.
An infrastructure.
• Every member has access to the full directory, portfolios, websites, capabilities.
• Introductions are intentional, not accidental.
• Capital is circulated within the room first.
• Salon gatherings are included, not upsold.
• Masterminds feature operators, investors, and national voices, not filler panels.
• Curated dinners are strategic, not social placeholders.
In every room, the first question asked is:
What are you building and who do you need to meet?
And the second question:
How can this room move that forward?
The responsibility does not fall on the member to “work the room.”
The room works for the member.
The Difference
... Other rooms offer visibility.
Club Conduit offers positioning.
... Other memberships offer ambiance.
Club Conduit offers alignment.
... Other events offer applause.
Club Conduit facilitates transactions.

The unapologetic conversation ambitious women have when the cameras aren’t on and sometimes when they are.
Baddie Rewrite explores power, capital, reinvention, and what it actually takes to build influence in today’s world.
No fluff. No filters. Just women rewriting the rules.

Pro MMA fighter Alivia Bierley joined Baddie Rewrite to discuss mental resilience, and the discipline required to win.

Building the conversations, the infrastructure, and the rooms where power, capital, and influence align.
