Layla Waters

Layla is a non-binary person whose pronouns are they/them, though youth may be familiar with them as Captain Layla. Native to Alabama, they have lived in Maryland since 2015 with their child (Peter) and two cats (Mr. Man & Beatrice). Holding a Bachelor of Arts in both Psychology and Philosophy, they are committed to creating healthy environments for youth, both physically and mentally. They are a practicing Pagan, and have been involved in the FCUUPs (Frederick Covenant of UU Pagans) community since 2018, facilitating events, classes, rituals, and youth programming. They also facilitate a monthly Death Café at the UUCF which provides an opportunity for participants to discuss any topic surrounding death and dying while eating cake! Layla is also an artist, running their small business Phoenix Engravings out of their home studio. They sing in the pagan folk band Kindred Crow, and they enjoy crochet, Star Trek, and playing video games in their free time.
