Right now, Sudan is facing one of the worst humanitarian crises on Earth. Since 2023, a civil war between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces has killed more than 150,000 people and displaced over 14 million.

Troora chooses to pay attention and provides resources for others to do the same.  We broke down what’s happening in Sudan.

Honoring the life and legacy of Dr. Gladys West — mathematician, scientist, and one of the brilliant minds whose work made GPS possible. Long before navigation lived in our pockets, Dr. West was calculating the shape of the Earth, building the mathematical foundations that allow satellites to map our world with precision. Her work changed how we move, connect, and understand space — even if her name was rarely credited at the time. Today, we honor her brilliance, her perseverance, and the countless ways Black women have shaped the world behind the scenes. May her legacy continue to guide us forward. Rest in power, love and peace Dr. West🕊️

What happens when a crisis of masculinity is met with a 1950s blueprint? In Notes On Being A Man, Scott Galloway @profgalloway is right about one thing: lonely, disenfranchised young men are a social and political flashpoint. But his solution—protect, provide, procreate—leans hard on nostalgia, not nuance. In our latest culture essay, we parse Galloway’s strongest insights and traces the limits of his vision of masculinity. Less a verdict, more a reckoning. What do you think masculinity should look like? Read the full review on our website to see what we think.

As we step into 2026, we’re entering a new chapter — a new website, new issues, new partnerships, and a continued commitment to building visibility for under-recognized creatives, founders, and entrepreneurs who deserve to be seen on their own terms. TrooRa exists as a visibility engine - one that amplifies emerging brands, reinvests in environmental and humanitarian impact, and offers a different model for how stories are shared, supported, and sustained. We’re grateful to still be in the conversation, and excited for what’s ahead. Thank you for being part of it. #TrooRa #TrooRaMagazine #TrooRaCommunity #troolala

Our new site is live. Built to give visibility to the under-recognized, a voice to those often left out of the conversation, and space for stories that don’t get told elsewhere. troora#trooramagazine #troora #troolala #entrepreneurialspirit #supportcreatives .com
