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.
Her debut book, We'll All Be Free: How a Culture of White Supremacy Devalues Us and How We Can Reclaim Our True Worth (Baker Books, July 2023), is a culture changer for our generation. In We'll All Be Free, writer and speaker Caroline J. Sumlin reveals the force that keeps readers from freely expressing who they are as image bearers of God—a culture of white supremacy. Sumlin dissects the different ways white supremacy culture has led all of us —regardless of color, gender, or sexual orientation—to believe the inherent lie of self-unworthiness as it has attempted to destroy the minds and bodies of those who are Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC), as well as every other marginalized community. https://www.carolinejsumlin.com/

Renee Thevenet-Rodbell
While attending graduate school, my sister introduced me to Mary Kay products and I was thrilled that they cleared up my skin. After completing my MEd at the University of Maryland, I returned to the Seattle area, where I had earned my BA in English. During this transition, my sister convinced me that if I joined Mary Kay, I would be able to make new friends. Little did I know, that decision would change the trajectory of my life. After observing that my job as a special education teacher sent me home in tears and that my Mary Kay business uplifted me, my husband suggested I quit teaching to focus on Mary Kay. That was 37 years, 6 company cars, 8 diamond rings and 134 quarterly prizes ago. I love that my Mary Kay career provided the flexibility to be a work at home mom who homeschooled our daughter through high school, while earning luxury prizes and an executive income. Most of all, I love that our company philosophy is faith first, family second and career third.
