You are more than that “other” box that you have to check from time to time.
You are a multitude of greatness, culture, languages, beauty, intelligence, wonder, and possibilities.
There is no box that [is] large enough or deep enough to confine [you] to one space in time.
Nothing can block any element of who you are – never forget that.
One of the most important things that you must do throughout your life is to give your being and your legacy a deeper definition than the world could ever create.
Always feel free to be yourself; no one can define or bind your life except 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.
