Editor’s Letter May 2026May 10, 2026

Black Parenting: Discipline as ProtectionApril 5, 2026
They call it harsh. They rarely call it what it is. Black parenting has long been judged without context, misunderstood as severity rather than seen as protection. But in a world where Black children are too often viewed through a harsher lens, discipline becomes something deeper than control. It becomes preparation. It becomes survival. In the wake of events on Clapham High Street, the question of parenting has once again taken centre stage. But before we ask where the parents are, perhaps we should ask what they are up against. This piece explores the truth behind Black parenting, the tension between protection and perception, and the shift towards healing in a world that still demands resilience.

This month’s Editor’s Letter breaks it down with honesty, evidence, and urgency. Read on, because naming the truth is the first step to changing it.
