Just Bee & Arabian Nights: Layla Luna on Building an Autism-Friendly World

Just Bee & Arabian Nights: Layla Luna on Building an Autism-Friendly World

What happens when a mother turns personal heartbreak into a nationwide movement for change?

On October 30, 2026, Boone Hall Plantation's Cotton Dock will host Arabian Nights, a magical fundraiser presented by Starling Chevrolet to benefit Just Bee and build a more autism-friendly world. In this episode of the Mount Pleasant Podcast, host Brian Cleary sits down with Layla Luna, Founder and CEO of Just Bee, to give a special preview of this extraordinary event.

Together, they explore the deeply personal journey behind Just Bee—sparked by her autistic and nonverbal son, Rio—and how it has evolved into a vital support system for neurodivergent individuals and their families. Layla shares how events like Arabian Nights fund their crucial community outreach, including sensory-friendly spaces like the Beehive and the nationwide expansion of "Rio's Law," which establishes autism-aware identifier licenses to protect individuals and first responders.
