I felt this in my soul. When I was taken into care, at the age of 1, I was separated from my brothers and moved from Toxteth - a diverse area of Liverpool - to Halewood - a part of Knowsley that was more than 99% white, a place where I was chased, beaten, and taunted for being…
"I just didn't even want to be Black."
Louise is one of many children who was in the care system but was sent miles away from her home and her siblings - experiencing racism and isolation.
She is now working to highlight the damage that out of area placements can do.

Interesting how the men who played an active role in taunting a young black mum (Meghan Markle), to the point she left the country with her family, now want to chat about 'witch- hunts' against Phillip Schofield. The patriarchy has no sense of irony, self-reflection or shame 🤔
Jeremy Clarkson literally started a witch-hunt against Meghan Markle, saying he hated her on a cellular level, wanted her stripped naked marched through the streets with sh*t thrown at her while people shout shame. Yet here he is empathising with a man for abusing his power. Smh.
