What is the value of your mixed existence?
Do you measure your existence in pearls, dollars, and gold?
Do you measure your life in your stories that are yet to be told?
Will you still value your mixed identity when your legend grows old?
You are more than money, a pay-off, or the dangling carrot that others may try to win you over with, so hold on to your true value – that which lives and breathes inside of you.
Value your existence in language, impact, education, wisdom shared, love, joy, and persistence.
Discount that which no longer holds value, because you are worthy of life, growth, and change.
If you could tally up the value of your existence, would you include the price that was paid for your mixed existence?
Can you love yourself beyond the value that others say that you have? Yes, so please do.
–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.
