Testimonials

“Employing humor and a candidness that is beyond relatable, Lula has an innate talent for bringing women together and fostering connection. Whether at a dinner party she has thrown or through her online presence, she leaves women like me feeling empowered, understood, and seen!”
— Asmahan Malow, NYC Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs -Neighborhood Organizer

“Lula is a force. What I love about her activism is it’s not lazy, half-hearted internet inspiration. She moves the needle in real life thanks to her education and expertise, deep connections and political ties and unrelenting passion for uplifting women. ”
— Katie Levans, Co-Founder & Executive Editor of Charlotte Agenda

“When you think of the idiom “Acting Up” you’re drawn to deduce that it’s a negative way someone carries themself or expresses themself in a moment. I think Lula’s desire to Act Up serves as a personal testimony to hold one’s self accountable, to always give your all, to show, and work at, your full potential, to be self aware and stand up for yourself. Not only is Acting Up a self serving mantra but Lula has inspired countless women to speak, share, and revel in their truth. I believe this is her mission and she goes at it with all her heart. ”
— Freeman Williams, Poet

“Lula walks in her fullness and that gift grants others the space to do the same. In my time as a summer fellow, I was personally searching for a lot and Lula’s ability to cultivate a program with varying identities/ideas was life-changing. Lula required that even as we struggled through learning how to canvass, we remain centered in our purpose to serve the community. As I completed my fellowship at SFER I began to embody what true servant leadership can manifest through watching Lula’s graceful mentorship and guidance.”

— Clarissa Brooks, Journalist & Cultural Worker

“Lula Dualeh’s commitment to inspire and support others has been consistent. Her desire to engage in beating oppressive obstacles isn’t a project, but a lifestyle. I encourage others to embrace her work and her extremely valued perspective.”
