Böcker av Caroline J. Sumlin

Never doubt your worth againYou're not good enough. How many of us internalize this belief before we even reach adulthood? How many of us feel unworthy and unable to live up to what seem like impossible, completely arbitrary standards? Where do these toxic beliefs about ourselves come from? And who told us there is a way we are "supposed" to be, anyway? With passion and compassion, educator and podcaster Caroline J. Sumlin reveals the force that keeps all of us, whether we are part of a marginalized group or not, from freely expressing who we are as image bearers of God: white supremacy culture. Sharing her own story, she helps us ● see the wide-ranging effects of living in a culture of white supremacy● identify the damaging beliefs we internalize from our very earliest days● find clarity and freedom as we dismantle the oppressive structures that hem us in and force us to conformIf you have struggled with perfectionism, self-doubt, unworthiness, or the unrelenting pressure to pursue someone else's version of "success," you will find here the tools you need to silence the voices that seek to keep you down and to value yourself as never before."A kind yet stirring reminder that there are no winners under white supremacy's weight. Get ready to look backward to see the truth of our history, inward to unlearn the lies we believe, and forward to work toward a bright, free future."--Danielle Coke, illustrator and activist"This book will help you understand not just what is broken in our racist and patriarchal society but how it connects to your own story. As a white woman and a recovering perfectionist, I am so grateful this book exists."--Jenny Booth Potter, author of Doing Nothing Is No Longer an Option
