Dear Mixed Girl,
Have you ever had days when the weight of tears in your eyes made it difficult to see clearly and be yourself?
Being able to breathe through the tears can be difficult when tears are falling, and your heart is heavy, especially if someone has hurt your feelings.
Trying to be strong as a mixed girl when others are judging you by your appearance or assumptions can be so hard, so you must remember to take a moment to breathe.
Do you know where your strength lies?
While you may feel emotional, upset, or confused when others spew hurtful words or judge you, you must remember who you are and recall that you are stronger inside than what is being said by others.
Give no power to negativity by feeling your emotions, breathing through tears, and remembering who you are, my dear.
Your tears are not useless; they will bring you clarity and power if you use them as tools that can better equip you for strength and courage.
Should you find that your tears fill your eyes, dear mixed girl, remember to embrace your emotions, walk through your feelings, breathe, and hold strong because you are growing and soon to learn something that will serve as wisdom for the future that you are walking into.
-Dr. KayLa N. Allen’s “Dear Mixed Girl” Letters
Letter Entitled: “Breathe Through Your Tears”
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.
