Hi, there! I’m Caroline.
I’m a multifaceted creative and thought leader dedicated to challenging societal norms and inspiring others to live boldly and authentically. Through writing, speaking, and content creation, I explore the intersections of self-worth, identity, and systemic oppression, empowering individuals to break free from conventional expectations and reclaim their true potential.
Challenge the norm. Transform your life.
I used to be a certified rule follower.
Get good grades, go to college, get a high-paying career, and become successful. This is what society conditions you to believe is the key to your happiness and your worth as a human. If you aren’t chasing success, why are you even here?
This mindset has led to a self-worth crisis in our society — and most of us can’t even see it because it’s so normal.
It wasn’t until I learned the truth behind these societal norms, and how they were created to ensure a culture of inequity is our accepted reality, that I realized true freedom lies in challenging this status quo.
It sounds simple, but re-wiring and de-conditioning your brain from the only cultural thought patterns and behaviors you’ve ever known is deep work that can feel exhausting, intimidating, and even impossible.
That’s where I come in — through content creation, articles, speaking, and workshops, I am your guide to living a life beyond society’s expectations. Whether at work, in parenthood, or on your personal journey, I’m here to support you in creating a life of impact, worth, and liberation.

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.”
