Dear Mixed Girl,
How strong would you be willing to hold on to the person you know yourself to be?
Give and take is how many things may work in life, but it does not have to be true for how you see and know yourself.
You may see yourself fitting into many spaces because of your “vibe” and having different views or opinions, but this doesn’t mean you have to trade one part of yourself to fit into another space or place.
Your identity and your freedom to be who you are within your culture, ethnicity, or race are not to be bargained with-you are for sale in any sense of the word.
If you understand that you are a treasure and your blended freedom to be all you are is golden, then you know that you cannot trade one part of who you are for anything else.
There will not come a time when you have to become something you are not, so don’t think about what you must let go of.
Stand strong in knowing who you are because you have no need to settle for the less than the fullness of that.
You are worthy of being all you are, and nothing is worth selling or trading your unique identity or freedom-not today, not ever.
-Dr. KayLa N. Allen’s “Dear Mixed Girl” Letters
Letter Entitled “What Do You Trade for Your Freedom or Identity?”
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.
