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

Image
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 . KET.N , simply put, means “Our Thang.” Not just something we claim—but something we commit to. Something we shape and something that shapes us. The idea came alive during a conversation about gangster movies—yeah, I love those. One phrase always stood out: “This thing of ours.” And that got me thinking... Because we need that same spirit when it comes to Gye-Nyame. When it comes to Simsa. When it comes to our culture, our children, and our future. We need our own KET.N. KET.N: It Belongs to Us. We Belong to It. KET.N isn’t just a word—it’s a sacred commitment. Our Thang represents a bond with something greater than any individua...

Billionaires & Hoarders: Two Sides of the Same Greedy Coin

Image
Billionaires & Hoarders: Two Sides of the Same Greedy Coin Let’s play a little mental game. Close your eyes and imagine a hoarder. You know the type—stacked-up newspapers from 1983, broken appliances they swear they’ll fix, closets bursting with expired canned goods, and maybe a dozen cats running a shadow government in the basement. Now… picture a billionaire. Private jets? Check. Four yachts? Check. Enough wealth to solve world hunger twenty times over… and still complaining about taxes? Same behavior. Different zip code. The Absurd Similarities Between Billionaires & Hoarders On the surface, one smells like old pizza boxes and anxiety. The other smells like imported lavender from Provence and entitlement. But when you break it down, the behaviors mirror each other: Behavior Hoarder Billionaire Obsession with accumulation 137 empty lotion bottles 137 billion dollars Believes everything might “come in handy” Keeps 42 broken toasters Buys up 42 companies for “synergy” Can’t let...

Unity Ain’t Just a Word: Practicing What We Pledge

Image
Unity Ain’t Just a Word: Practicing What We Pledge Today, I found myself musing on the principle of Umoja , or Unity . I went through my morning meditation and workout, but something was missing — I forgot to recite the Gye-Nyame Pledge . That may not seem like a big deal to some, but it made me pause and reflect. Why do we pledge? Why do we say these words each day? The Power of a Daily Pledge A pledge is more than recitation — it’s a daily reminder of who you are, what you stand for, and what you’re building. Whether you're building a business, raising a family, strengthening a tribe, or transforming a community — Unity is required . Umoja is not passive. It’s not a cool word to post. It’s not just a hashtag. It’s a practice . Or maybe the better word is praxis — not just belief, but action . Daily. Deliberate. Intentional. Practice Over Perfection A pledge helps ground that action. It reminds us not just of where we’re going — but who we must become to get ther...
