About Caroline J. Sumlin

Caroline J. Sumlin is a writer, speaker, and educator with a passion for helping all people to reclaim their self-worth and their humanity. A former foster child turned adoptee, Caroline brings awareness, healing, and liberation to the topics of toxic white supremacy culture, systemic injustice, mental health, faith reconstruction, and bold, purposeful living to her growing audience. She lives in Manassas Park, Virginia.

Her new book We’ll All Be Free: How a Culture of White Supremacy Devalues Us and How We Can Reclaim Our True Worth is available wherever you get your books!

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Caroline’s evolution and what it has taken for her to unapologetically embrace her authentic self. Spoiler alert, she had to do the work to get to know herself and she shares with us her journey of acceptance and self-love
  • The inspiration behind her book, We’ll All Be Free, and how getting in alignment and not forcing the process allowed her to write her book. We discuss the importance of surrender and following your soul’s authentic blueprint 
  • How we can distinguish when we are not in alignment, recognize resistance and pivot when necessary 
  • The importance of confronting our pain, shame, trauma and challenges and how we can find freedom when we allow ourselves to heal and process our experiences. AND why we must have compassion and grace with others understanding that we are all on our own healing journeys. 
  • How white supremacy culture contributes to our feelings of unworthiness and not feeling good enough and what we can do to begin to heal and unlearn this programming. 


The quote I mentioned (butchered) during the episode: “When I dare to be powerful—to use my strength in the service of my vision—then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.” -Audre Lorde
