With the topic of mental health always in the news and its stigma across nations, we all must better understand what our education has taught us or not about our mental health. As highly melanated beings, we are affected severely by not knowing ourselves and not managing our overall health. “Knowing thyself” and understanding the role of Melanin in our lives is certainly part of that. To reject the knowledge and application of ideals our ancient ancestors left for us is in itself anti-blackness and widely alarming. Although we are all unique, our collective behavior has caused a significant detriment to our health. In my opinion, we must prioritize "knowing thyself," which is written above many structures in ancient Kemet, and why not embrace our ancestors’ wisdom so that we might save ourselves from our current identity crisis of "whiteness."
