Has someone ever asked you why you dare to be so boldy mixed in what you are doing?
Occasionally people may say that you have to behave one way or another, but please know that their words are surely not true.
If you decide that you want to dress a certain way that is culturally connected, embrace that because it makes you happy.
Never change yourself to fit in with others or justify your reason for being you.
Your life is mixed and nothing can change that, but that does not mean that you have to alter your identity in any way.
You have the right to be you through and through, no excuses, reasons, or definitions required.
Be bold and okay with being all that you are.
The right to be you is not defined by the voice or views of others.
Be you in every way possible and your joy will never escape 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. 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.
