As usual, the Globe and Mail commentariat doesn't disappoint. This is a personal essay about one woman's experience.  So, how dare she express her life in terms of her  "colour", her "anger", her  "attitude", her love of  "German engineering", her 1% advantages, her  "elite" education and on and on and on.  If you're not a black, first generation super achiever, trying to fit in a "mostly" white,  male-dominated Bay Street law firm, what do YOU know about HER reality?  This story isn't about you.  I thank Hadiya Roderique for penning this honest story about a difficult period in her working life knowing it would incite ugly, cruel and unsymapathetic responses. I also wish her every success as she works towards her Ph.D.
