Dr. Carolle was born in Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti. Because of her family’s economic situation while growing up, she occasionally had to go to bed hungry. She grew up in a country with very few resources and an extremely oppressive and dangerous political climate. Schools closed at the first sign of political unrest; books were banned and rare to find. Dr. Carolle knows first hand the impact of the very problems that she now works diligently to solve.

She also lived in a caste society wherein women were considered second-class citizens without the opportunities and rights that men automatically enjoyed.

In spite of these challenges, she was given tremendous support from her relatives and was brought up to believe that she could do and be anything she desired. Because of them, she decided that she was going to be intelligent and go as far as any man could ever go. She was going to be different! She was going to be a champion of hope! She was not going to allow the circumstances that she had been born under slow her down in any way, shape, or form.
