KET.N: “Our Thang,” Our Tribe, Our Responsibility

KET.N: “Our Thang,” Our Tribe, Our Responsibility Great day, Great day, my people! It’s your brother ha2tim, and today I’m bringing you a special reflection—one that digs deep into who we are, what we build, and why we must build together. This article centers around a powerful concept: KET.N , a Kemetic term gifted to our tribe by Brother Kwame Keuchler .

We want the rain to fall and wash us clean, to nourish our seeds and bring our visions to life. But that same rain turns the ground soft. It gets slippery. It slows you down. That’s the mud—and you can’t avoid it if you really want the growth. You Can’t Have One Without the Other This ain’t just about weather—it’s about life. About process. About truth. Rain is necessary, but it doesn’t come alone. Mud tags along, like that unexpected guest who sh...
