Becoming a Narcolepsy Advocate - Narcolepsy Nerd Alert Series Ep. 3

So you’d like to advocate for narcolepsy, but aren’t sure where to start? In this episode, we are joined by two incredible narcolepsy advocates, Ana E. Lara and Matthew Horsnell. Together, we talk about the power of YOUR story and break down narcolepsy advocacy into three categories: self-advocacy, raising your voice publicly, and legislative advocacy. Ana E. Lara is a poet and stay-at-home mom who is passionate about writing. She is a person with narcolepsy, who advocates for sleep health and serves on the board of directors for Project Sleep.    Matthew Horsnell is a father of three and science nerd living with type 1 narcolepsy with cataplexy. He is a Rising Voices of Narcolepsy trained speaker and a facilitator for Wake Up Narcolepsy online small groups.   Download the Becoming a Narcolepsy Advocate Toolkit for more resources: https://bit.ly/becoming-a-narcolepsy-advocate  The Narcolepsy Nerd Alert series invites listeners to dive deeper into specific topics relevant to living with narcolepsy. https://project-sleep.com/narcolepsy-nerd-alert/ Download episode trasncription Here.
