Rising Voices of Narcolepsy Story Sharing Series: Meet Kayla

I never knew what would be waiting for me in that place between sleep and wakefulness.”

— Kayla Douglas, RVN Writer

Our Rising Voices of Narcolepsy Story Sharing live series continued on May 24, 2020, with a brand-new storyteller: Kayla Douglas! Kayla read Scared of the Dark: The Narcolepsy Symptoms That Nobody Talks About, one of her many writing pieces about or inspired by her experiences living with narcolepsy. Afterwards, we caught up with Kayla on how she’s been since publication and hosted a live viewer Q&A.

What is the Story Sharing Series?

The Rising Voices of Narcolepsy Story Sharing Series invites viewers to gather online to watch a Rising Voices of Narcolepsy trained speaker or writer present their story live via Project Sleep’s Facebook page. Project Sleep is proud to offer our monthly series as a weekly event for the next few months. At a time in which many people need connection more than ever, this will increase opportunities for people around the world to engage with and support one another.
