Dear Mixed Girl, You Are Changing Destinies
Dear Mixed Girl,
You carry a world of lessons learned – what do they mean to you?
The more you experience, the more you have to plant into the environments around you.
Whether you know it or not, you have so much to offer!
Take heart in knowing that you are special and you are a changer of destinies.
You keep being you, and don’t know it now, but someone’s life is being filled with love and wisdom because you exist.
Take in the wisdom of change, hurts, and happiness, and keep being a gift that keeps giving.
With Love,
Dr. KayLa N. Allen-Young,
Another Mixed Girl
Sometimes a letter sounds different when spoken aloud.
For those who would rather listen, a spoken version of this week’s Dear Mixed Girl® letter is available below.
More Words for the Girls Becoming Themselves:
Dear Mixed Girl® is a growing collection of reflections, reminders, and conversations created for girls navigating identity, belonging, self-worth, and the experience of growing into themselves in a world that does not always make space for complexity.
Created by Dr. KayLa N. Allen-Young, the Dear Mixed Girl® platform extends beyond the letters through speaking, coaching, workshops, and educational experiences designed to support girls, families, schools, leaders in children-centered organizations, and the environments that shape young people every day.
No matter where you are in your journey, you deserve spaces that remind you who you are—not spaces that make you question your worth.
