About

Carlie is a 2019 graduate of Texas A&M University, where she converted to Catholicism and experienced a radical life change during her sophomore year. She is from Dallas, TX and heard about the Culture Project through a friend who invited her to meet some of the missionaries at SLS 2018, a conference for Catholic college students. When she met the missionaries, she knew there was something different about the Culture Project and was so excited by the fact that they exist! Never would she have imagined being on the team as a missionary herself until the Lord kept calling her to learn more and finally say yes to spreading the message of authentic love! “I couldn’t imagine spreading any other message than the true, authentic love that leads to the real happiness we are looking for!”

Does Clothing Matter?
By Carlie  •  August 11th, 2020

“When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath; you heard it. You look perfect tonight.”  “Don’t even bother asking if you look okay. You know I’ll say… cause baby you’re beautiful just the way you are.” Maybe you’re a girl who loves fashion. Even if it’s just to check the mail,…

There Are Real Men Who Will Love You
By Carlie  •  June 23rd, 2020

When I’m in the classroom, I get a lot of questions from girls that sound like this: “Why do guys treat girls like they’re stupid?”, “Why do guys treat girls like they’re weak?”, or “Why don’t men respect us?” My heart breaks when I receive questions like this because I know these girls aren’t the…

Reality Check
By Carlie  •  December 5th, 2019

Have you ever walked out of a movie theater feeling like you don’t know where you are anymore? It’s pretty confusing! You’re suddenly thrown back into the real world with no way to process all the images and emotions you just experienced. Usually that makes me want to just go home and take a nap…
