Just because you are different, that doesn’t mean that your voice doesn’t matter.
Don’t ever allow anyone or anything to make you feel that you need to be quiet.
You have a view of the world that many others couldn’t nor will ever experience.
Your voice and experience give you a seat at any table.
Remember to not let anyone make you feel inferior to them.
Don’t silence yourself, even if you are feeling uncomfortable.
In your life, you have a chance to make a difference by being yourself.
Be yourself, speak up and make the world a better place.
– Dr. KayLa N. Allen’s “Dear Mixed Girl” Letters
The “Dear Mixed Girl” letters are a series from Dr. KayLa N. Allen that share experiences, motivation, and compassion. These letters are linked to the “Dear Mixed Girl, What is Your Identity?” coaching program. Other related messaging that Dr. KayLa creates is to re-shape the way that mixed girls and women think about themselves and how they contribute to the world by being themselves.
No “mixed” experience is the same, but many parts of the biracial/multi-ethnic experience are similar. It is in these similarities that we can find individuals truths and ways in which we can become the best version of ourselves regardless of what the world may show us.
Dr. KayLa N. Allen’s greatest hope is to share with others her truth and what lives inside of her so that there can be sustainable changes and powerful impact in those living the life of a “mixed” girl.
If you or the mixed girl in your life felt the impact of this letter, read more empowering messages and find out how you can transform yourself, be proud of who you are, and lead a unique and joyful life via Dr. KayLa N. Allen’s coaching programs.
