Dear Mixed Girl,
When was the last time that you took a moment to embrace the song that is in your heart and soul through dance and joy?
When you can embrace the skin that you are in and the dance that lives inside of you, you will learn that you are living in bold colors unlike any other.
There is no time in life that you have to change your mixed colors (skin, flags, or anything else).
There is purity and beauty in dancing to the beat of your own drum, so don’t change your colors for anyone.
There are countless times in which we may find ourselves trying to fit in, wanting to embrace a different dance, live in different skin, or hide the flags that our ancestors found pride in or fought for.
We have a chance now to be all that we are, so we can dance with our colors without judgment, so let all of you shine.
Dance alone, around others, with a smile or your face, to whatever makes you happen, but let it all feed your soul.
You can dance with your colors inside and out, and no one can take away the meaning of your “mixed” joy in that.
-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.
