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.

Five Black Women. Five Bodies of Water. And a History We Can No Longer IgnoreMarch 15, 2026
The Silence is the Story Five Black women. Five bodies of water. And a national conversation that barely registered a ripple. In this searing and vital piece, Dr Diahanne Rhiney, Editor in Chief of Black Wall St Media, confronts the uncomfortable historical pattern of how Black women’s lives are valued and often made invisible by the systems meant to protect them. From the tragic disappearances of Blessing Olusegun and Samaria Ayanle to the urgent necessity of economic sovereignty as a form of safety, this article is a call to action for visibility, protection, and the refusal to let history repeat itself. Read the full article below to understand why we must say their names.
