Dear Mixed Girl,
To have a place and space where you can be yourself is so special.
Where do you call your safe place?
I often think of my safe place as my writing.
Life is hard enough without differences in place, but with them, we must do whatever we can to be ourselves and be happy about that.
A safe place can be at home, in the park, in artwork, in prayer, in church, in meditation, and anywhere else that you can imagine.
When things make you feel like you can’t be yourself, think about a way to feel in tune with your heart and soul again.
It doesn’t have to be anything major; it can be watching your favorite Christmas movie in May.
You deserve a space, no matter where you are in the world or how old you are, to be safe and happy.
So, today and always, make sure that you have a safe space to be quirky, crazy, beautiful, loving, intelligent, and wonderful you.
– 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. 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.
