CAROLINE'S
STORY

Growing up in North Tulsa, Caroline was shaped by her community's enduring strength and unbreakable spirit. ‘My environment wasn’t an excuse to quit but a reason to keep going,’ she says. Her journey reflects this ethos, from being a first-generation, debt-free graduate of the University of Oklahoma and The Ohio State University to becoming a nationally recognized speaker and consultant. Today, Caroline uses her story to inspire others, leaving an Imprint of Inspiration that transcends geographical boundaries.

With deep roots in North Tulsa, Oklahoma, Caroline’s personal journey of resilience and empowerment mirrors the spirit of Black Wall Street, which she honors through her work. Caroline’s roots are symbolized by her life-size mural in the Historic Greenwood District, created as part of the Doorways to Hope project, which celebrates living legends from North Tulsa. This mural stands as a powerful testament to her journey from a community once devastated but never defeated, to her role as a beacon of inspiration.

GET TO

KNOW ME

I’m the baby of the Bennett Bunch—or “Chickadees,” as my mama affectionately calls us—and I’m a proud Aunt who loves spoiling my niece.

I’m a lefty, a PK (preacher’s kid), and a former All-State soccer player who once dreamed of going pro. Life had other plans, though. After tearing both my ACLs and menisci, my world shifted. But those setbacks became the very catalyst that pushed me into my purpose—emboldening and inspiring thousands.
