Tayla
EDITORIAL
Tayla, a current Fort Hays State University psychology student and a part of NAMI Kansas’ Development Staff, was born and raised in Wichita, Kansas. She went on to live in more than 30 homes in three states by the age of 30, before boomeranging back to Lindsborg, a tiny, creative little town just a couple of hours North. With a self-appointed permission slip to let her mind wander, Tayla writes about her personal journey with mental illness and an undying passion for connecting with her fellow humans over matters of the heart, mind, and other curiosities. Tayla can be found through her online profile here.
