If Memory Foam Isn’t The Perfect Mattress For You, Go Hybrid. Here’s Why!. Top Story - December 2021. Created with: Lull.
Earlier this year, I was desperately searching for a mattress that would help me fall asleep and stay asleep all night. If you read my previous story, How Seasonal Changes Impact Your Sleep (Without You Even Knowing), then you know I’ve always struggled to get a good night’s rest. I performed extensive research online and amongst friends, and I ultimately found my Lull Mattress. I still remember the day my premium memory foam bed arrived at my home. I was excited to try something new, but certainly had my doubts. Little did I know that the contents of that simple box would have the power to shift my relationship to sleep forever. After nearly 1 year of resting, not just sleeping, on my Lull Original Mattress, I can honestly say that my life has changed for the better. I’ve gone from tossing and turning all night, to falling into a deep and restful sleep almost immediately. I’ve also noticed that I wake up in a far better mood as opposed to sleeping on my previous spring mattress, and that my Lull regulates my body temperature and cools me down at night.

Ayiti, You’re Not Alone — 3 Ways You Can Help Haiti Disaster Relief From Home . Top Story - August 2021.
By now you’ve probably seen the news of the devastation in Haiti. Men, women, and children trapped under rubbles of what once was their home, school, or church. Desperation, thirst, hunger and anguish have fully set in as the citizens of the first Black Nation look up to heavens wondering where their relief will come from. I can only imagine how my Haitian brothers and sisters feel right now as they are trapped on the small island that has been hit back to back by natural and societal disasters for the past decade.

Dreaming in Dominican
The sun was pouring in through the small holes of the tin ceiling, sending in small waves of heat which announced the hot, sticky day that was soon to begin. I looked up at the ceiling for what felt like hours imagining what it would be like to sleep on top of there instead of being crammed in between my mother, and sister on this full size bed that with each movement begged for our heavy bodies to get up.

Dear Black Girl, Your Imposter Syndrome is Valid. Top Story - June 2021.
“It doesn’t go away, that feeling that you shouldn’t take me that seriously...we all have doubts in our abilities, about our power and what that power is. If I’m giving people hope then that is a responsibility, so I have to make sure that I am accountable.” - Michelle Obama

How Seasonal Changes Impact Your Sleep (Without You Even Knowing). Top Story - January 2021. Created with: Lull.
For a very long time I struggled to get a good night’s sleep. I was always either tossing and turning for most of the night because my bed was too hot, too uncomfortable, too squeaky, or simply too old. After hours of misery I would finally meet that first REM cycle, but couldn’t stay asleep for long because the discomfort was real! I genuinely thought it was just my seasonal depression which would sometimes trigger my anxiety. For those of you unfamiliar with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), it’s a form of depression influenced by seasonal changes. It can impact several areas of your life, including daily activities, your interactions, productivity, and your overall mood. But, I wasn’t awake because of any mental stress or agitation and I couldn’t pinpoint why—until I learned that my old, unsupportive mattress was partially to blame for how I was feeling, and the physical stress on my body.

My Playlist Guide for Your Inner Girl Boss . Top Story - October 2020.
Today, more than ever, women are tapping into their most divine, authentic, and unapologetic self. You may be asking, what is this higher power I allude to? What is this new-found divinity? Well, it is that of the Girl Boss. In a world guided by a patriarchal agenda, where we are constantly bombarded with misogyny, sexism, and archaic gender norms the Girl Boss has emerged as a direct challenge to these toxic structures. As women slowly claim their seats at the table, whether in music, business, science, education, etc. they are literally defying the traditional standards set out for them.
