About this listen

 "Curious why Tut seems shrouded in mystery? Let’s delve into the reasons behind the gatekeeping culture surrounding this rich and powerful cultural language.

Tut isn’t just a way to communicate—it’s a piece of African American history, born out of resistance. During a time when enslaved Africans in North America were stripped of their identities, their languages, and their culture, they found ways to resist. Tut is part of that legacy.

This language was created as a means of survival—a way to connect, to protect secrets, and to maintain a sense of identity when everything else was being taken away. That pain left deep scars: trauma, distrust, and a fierce need to hold onto what little was left of our culture.

Gatekeeping exists because Tut isn’t just a tool—it’s a legacy. It represents a story of resilience, and for many, there’s a fear of it being misunderstood, exploited, or watered down. When people outside the culture approach Tut, often without understanding its history or context, it feels like they’re trying to take something that doesn’t belong to them.

To truly protect Tut, we need to 'mommy' it—nurture it, grow it, and make sure it thrives within the community it belongs to. That means learning it, using it, and teaching it in ways that honor its history and roots. It means making sure it stays in the hands of the people it was created for.

By immersing yourself in Tut’s language and culture, you’re not just picking up words—you’re reclaiming history. You’re rebuilding a connection to ancestors who resisted and survived. You’re ensuring this legacy isn’t just preserved but celebrated, lived, and passed down.

When we embrace Tut fully, we guarantee that it thrives—not just as a language, but as a symbol of resistance and pride for generations to come.

So, what do you think about preserving culture? Do you see the importance of keeping something so sacred within the community? Drop your thoughts in the comments and let’s talk about it. Share this with someone who’s curious about Tut and wants to learn more.

And if you’re interested in more insights about African American culture, history, and heritage, hit follow, and let’s keep this conversation alive!"

    In the recent episode of Tuti'nun podcast hosted by Sun, three major challenges of language learning were discussed. The problems include the dangers of direct translation, the obsession with vocabulary, and the fear of practicing new language skills. Sun argues that direct translation could result in incorrect or peculiar phrases and sentences, and learning a language involves understanding all its unique characteristics. While vocabulary is important, understanding grammar and structure is critical for effectively communicating thoughts. Sun also points out that fear prevents one from practicing their language skills which hinders progress. The episode concludes with a call to be patient, persistent and unafraid of making mistakes. Sun suggests these qualities will foster a comfortable learning environment and lead to language fluency.
