#69 – Author Caroline Sumlin – We’ll All Be Free
How a Culture of White Supremacy Devalues Us and How We Can Reclaim Our Truth Worth
A season on authors and their new books. In this episode I feature Caroline Sumlin. Here’s a brief synopsis of her debut.
BREAK UP WITH THE STANDARD
Society has told you that you’re not good enough unless you live up to the standard. Society lied to you.
Our worth lies in our ability to measure up to the narrow, socially constructed standards rooted in colonization, racism, and white supremacy.
From believing that the pinnacle of beauty lies in blonde hair and blue eyes, to believing we must maintain 24/7 productivity, we receive the message from every corner of society that, in one way or another, we aren’t enough.
As a result…we chase. We chase perfectionism. We chase productivity. We ignore trauma. We change ourselves to mold to the status quo. We erase our cultural identities to subscribe to Western culture. Our mental health suffers in silence. Our feelings of unworthiness deepen. All because we live in a society that determined that there was one ideal version of a human and everyone else was inferior.
Your chase ends today.
