Did you know that what we feed our insides generates a world outside of our bodies?
Every mixed family has experiences of food that serve a plate of nourishment, no matter what the spread of colors and flavors present.
This nourishment is the very desire of our souls, and it can only be filled with what our “mixed” taste desires.
Nourishment to our souls is colorful, confusing, bold, and creative, so why should we silence that which our hearts and souls need?
Fine-tuning what our hearts and souls desire is a journey through life that continues to be shaped and reshaped, but it is always worth it.
You must tailor, cut, patch, and adjust what you nourish your life with – this is not just about food; it is about what we feed our minds as well.
Grow nourished inside, as you have the flavors, spices, and recipes of every element of your mixed life – (open the cabinet, my dear).
Sometimes we may need something to show us love, while other times we may need something that encourages the very fibers of our being.
No matter how you nourish yourself, be okay with what that looks like, as others may judge that which feeds your mixed soul.
–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.
