The Journey Pillow, created by Anthony and Candace Williams, is a one-of-a-kind travel pillow with individualized support that attaches to your seatbelt or waistband. 

We’ve all know the feeling of dread on a long haul flight cramped in coach class. The Journey Pillow is a premium travel pillow whose unique design attaches to your seatbelt or waistband. Created to make long trips more bearable; the pillow makes it possible to rest comfortably while sitting up. It can be used on a plane or other modes of transportation.

“We are excited about the impact Journey Pillow will have on the travel industry. This product will revolutionize travel by eliminating the desire for preferred seating,” says neurophysiologist and CEO of Journey Pillow, Anthony Williams.

Mr. Williams and his co-founders, all avid travelers, have been working to find a miracle cure for sleepless flights for the last two years. Retailing at $40, The Journey Pillow is a compact u-shaped travel pillow, weighing a mere 0.9lbs, whose features include: memory foam, velour casing, and non-slip clips.

“By allowing your neck to stay in alignment anywhere you sleep, the Journey Pillow helps travelers realize the health benefits of adequate sleep,” Mr. Williams concluded.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
