Dear Mixed Girl,
Have you ever been told that you are 1% of something, so that is what you are?
If you are like me, then the answer is yes (maybe several times over).
When you look at the color of your skin or the ethnicity/race on your birth certificate what does that mean to you?
Just like determining whom you want to be in business or school, you decide how you identify yourself in life.
You are a “mixed” individual and you can share that freely with the world.
There is nothing that anyone can say that will stop you from being all that you are.
Do what you can to not be offended by people’s assumptions when it comes to your race.
Don’t give people the power to hurt or belittle you based on the color of your skin.
You are beautiful inside and out.
There is no label, definition, or placement that the world can hold over you.
This is your life, so live it out loud and in bold, beautiful colors.
-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.
