Is there is a place inside of you that feels safe and protected.
In this space you find peace and you can be whomever your heart tells you that you are.
In the outside world, don’t hide inside of yourself.
There is freedom in being free.
When we get comfortable with hiding, we can lose a part of our hearts and identity.
You can be all that you are in a “live out loud” kind of a way.
Remember that although you are familiar and comfortable with that safe hiding place, it is always inside of you.
Nothing can take away your strength or your identity.
Hiding makes life feel difficult, confusing, sad, and sometimes hopeless.
No more hiding, okay?
Let’s be proud of all that we are.
Let’s be free from our hiding places and walk into the sunshine, goodness, and light of the world.
-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.
