Doreen Peter Noni is changing the conversation around mental health, with the help of prominent personalities on TV.

When Tanzanian media owner and talk show host Doreen Peter Noni first encountered depression in late 2017, she had no name for it. She just knew that she was angry at the world. She would snap at any small thing and often lock herself away in her room. Her father, a prominent bank manager, had just been arrested for tax fraud and put in jail. He was never convicted of any wrongdoing, but with the head of the family missing, Noni’s world crumbled.

American foreign policy has faded into a confusing and dangerous blur as a result of mismanagement, flip-flopping objectives, political turmoil in Washington and an understaffed and demoralized State Department. On issue after issue, it is impossible to discern a coherent strategy or an achievable goal. This is not just embarrassing and tragic for the United States but also harmful for the world because what the U.S. does — whether it succeeds or fails — affects everyone else.

To be fair, there is always some part of U.S. foreign policy that is troubled or falling short of its objective — even in the best of times. What is unique today is that nearly everything seems stalled, failing or out of focus. I cannot recall a comparable set of circumstances quite like this in more than 40 years of professional involvement with national security.

Gen Zers are tiring of Twitter and increasingly drawn to poetry. This new social media platform might be the next best way to engage.

When we think of connecting with others online, we tend to think of the usual Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc. But when we think of really expressing ourselves and making meaningful connections — beyond the forgotten friends, mere acquaintances and casual enemies — the usual social media platforms can fall flat. Younger generations in particular are looking for new ways to connect over shared passions.

One of these ways is poetry. Poetizer, a new social media platform, is connecting its users through verse. Aiming to be a positive, metaphysical alternative to the existing platforms, Poetizer is what co-founder Lukas Sedlacek calls “a safe space” online for creative expression and connection.
