I’m joined by Caroline J Sumlin, author of We'll All Be Free: How a Culture of White Supremacy Devalues Us and How We Can Reclaim Our True Worth. We’re talking about how white supremacy culture influences our self-worth, the various ways that this manifests in our life, and how to start to break free from it.
