The hard truth is: Family is not always what it seems and can actually bring you down faster than a stranger. Even in a family whose foundations are loving, it's easy to feel trapped, unwanted, or unable to change your trajectory in life. When Clemmons found herself down and out after a series of family hardships she never thought she'd one day reach her dream of playing college basketball. Carolina Girl is the tale of success despite circumstances and learning to use mentors and education as a catapult to an enriched life.

In Carolina Girl you'll hear stories from Clemmons' life such as...

How she broke free from religious ideologies that shackled and blurred her sense of identity
How she struggled to fit in with peers, restore a tarnished reputation, and dribble her way toward athletic and academic stardom
How tragic events affected her self-identity and led to devastating effects like being expelled from 7th grade

No matter where or what a person comes from, they can become whoever they want to be through awareness of truth, education, and understanding their past.
