I’M CAROLINE

I’m a truth-telling writer, educator, speaker, activist, wife, and a tennis-playing-coffee-obessed-neutral-colors-loving homeschooling mama.

And I’m on a mission to help you reclaim the self-worth that this world tried to steal from you, take that newfound self-worth and live boldly, and fight for the humanity of all by working to dismantle the toxic systems that tried to steal your worth in the first place. This is hard work, my friend. But, it is so liberating.

We’ll All Be Free

How a Culture of White Supremacy Devalues Us and How We Can Reclaim Our Truth Worth

Society has lied to us. And we’ve fallen for it. Until today. No longer are we placing our worth in society’s unreachable standards. We are breaking free, reclaiming our worth, and declaring our liberation. And it starts here.

Never doubt your worth again.

Never again believe that you’re not good enough.

Never again fall for the pressure to conform and live up to standards no human was ever meant to live up to.

Instead, discover the truth behind a society that has ingrained inherent beliefs of unworthiness within us since our earliest memories and how you can finally break free from lies and value yourself as never before.

We’ll All Be Free is One of a Kind

“Equal parts historical retelling, memoir, and roadmap, "We'll All Be Free" is one of its kind. Sumlin prompts readers to grasp at the roots of their own personal traumas and then draws explicit connections between feelings of unworthiness and the insidiousness of white supremacy culture, which has shaped each of us from our earliest memories.

Sumlin asks all of us to uproot internalized feelings of inferiority and self-doubt within the context of the perfectionism and toxic bootstrapping of white supremacy culture. "We'll All Be Free" is both expansive and intimate; it is sweeping in its historical research and also breathtaking in its rawness and vulnerability. Sumlin's debut work is a must-read for... well, all of us.”
