This was the 1980s, when UK black culture was dominated by the Caribbean and, in particular, Jamaican identity. It concerned me that there was such an acceptance of this model of parenting; that somehow the menfolk could impregnate women and then disappear or, at best, play a minor, semi-detached role in their child’s upbringing. My childhood had given me two models of fatherhood and it was clear which was preferable. The security of having two parents in a committed relationship, all of us living under one roof, provided a solid building block for everything I did; be it schoolwork, friendships or any outside activities. I’m not some puritanical tyrant who believes that all parents must be married, or that loveless or, worse, abusive relationships must be tolerated for the sake of the children.

I believe 'Brexit' will have a negative economic impact on the UK. As for how it will effect us as Black people specifically; let us have a look at Tory austerity as a reaction to the 2008 financial crisis. Black women and children were hit the hardest. Yet, the crisis and subsequent recession were a direct result of the financial sector and collusion with the political class. Every aspect of government assistance and delivery of services was negatively impacted; from underfunding schools in poor ethnic minority areas to the closing of our youth centres or perhaps the lack of appropriate funds. Oversight and regulations and their relation to the Grenfell tower massacre is an even better example.

Females who play sports have higher levels of confidence and self esteem and lower levels of depression. From childhood to adulthood, females who play sportshave a more positive body image and experience higher states of psychological well being than girls and women who do not play sports.

Mother's guilt is only natural and is the consequence of wanting to be a good mother to your children. However, in the end it will only weigh you down. ... We moms might feel guilty when we can't afford something for our kids or are nagged by the feeling that we simply don't spend enough time with them.

Until only a few years ago, beginning with the killing of Treyvon Martin, and with the continued press coverage of other highly unfortunate cases, it seemed to many that the issue of racism was a thing of the past. United States society was now in a post-racism era. After all, the civil rights act of the 1960’s was over half a century old. I can remember thinking honestly, in the almost entirely white town that I came from, that the only kind of racism that existed were the “innocent” jokes about blacks and other minorities. I was completely ignorant of the structural violence and racism that blacks had to live with on a daily basis in many other parts of the country, and looking back, how potentially difficult it would be for a black person to feel fully comfortable in a town like mine.
