Dear Mixed Girl
Is there a song or rhythm that reminds you of home or makes you feel connected to everything that is you?
Sometimes in life, we are told that we can only listen to one type of music because we will otherwise be judged.
What would happen if we chose to embrace all of the music that comes together to make our mixed lives?
We would walk with flowers in our hair, bells on our wrists, drumsticks in our hands, boots on our feet, and everything powerful about our ancestors wrapped around us.
Do you know that music others may say is weird is perfectly acceptable, especially if it makes your soul and heart happy?
You have the right to explore the world through music and be yourself in every way.
Music in the mixed world varies and it is always so beautiful.
Never be fearful of embracing parts of your musical identity or worry about what others may think when you listen to a variety of music that makes your heart smile.
-Dr. KayLa N. Allen’s “Dear Mixed Girl” Letters
“Music: Embrace It All”
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.
