#98 ‘My Name is Layla’ Author Shares Why She Chose Dyslexia As Key Part Of Her Story. Reyna Marder Gentin

In the Dyslexia Explored Podcast, we usually talk to people with dyslexia and hear about their personal challenges. You might have heard from our previous episodes, we are interested in the challenges that people with dyslexia face and how they overcome them.

This week we are going to hear from someone who has written a dyslexia story. Reyna Marder Gentin was a criminal defense attorney who became a full-time writer. In her second book, ‘My Name is Layla’, the main character has dyslexia and it is one of the main parts of her story. Let us discover why Reyna chose dyslexia, what were the struggles her character faced, and what are the points we can learn from this story.
