is a New York and New Orleans based journalist and educator. She is currently the senior editor of the lifestyle section at Mic, a culture and politics outlet, and has previously served as wellness editor at Tonic, a VICE vertical. With over 12 years of writing and reporting experience (the Atlantic, Village Voice, New York Daily News), her focus is health and wellness through the lens of identity and social justice. Her favorite things to do are: rant about health outcome disparities, tell people what CBD oil actually does, and watch Beyoncé's Homecoming, weekly, as an act of self-preservation and political resistance.

Rajul has taught Journalism and English in both cities and loves to teach college writing because she is allowed to use all her words in the classroom, even the ones with four letters. Freedom is everything. She is most inspired, this week, by Ariana Grande and Hasan Minhaj.
