I used to be in a toxic environment. I left it.

Harry and Meghan are in the news again. It is interesting to see aspects of the media who drove them out of the UK continue to berate them.  

In 2010, I left a toxic environment to work where I am now, and while I know they wish I could be better, I do know that they appreciate me.  The sense of liberation I felt when I left was amazing.  I wish the media companies who drove this couple away took a good look at themselves and think on what they did, and how it looks to people affected by racism.

Those of colour of the age of Meghan Markle and those older will all have been treated differently than those who are white in the UK. They know why some papers show double standards.
