Dear Mixed Girl,
You are one that your ancestors could not have even imagined.
No matter how old you are, you are filled with centuries of wonder, greatness, legacies, and stories.
Look at your hands and noticed the veins filled with the blood and DNA of those who came before you.
In the silence, I know that you can hear your ancestors speak.
In the mirror and from pictures, you can see how much you look like your ancestors.
Know where you came from.
Learn the stories of lives and your culture.
Teach others, now and forever, of your wonder.
-Dr. KayLa N. Allen, “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. 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.
