Thank you for being brave enough to write about your experience. In 2013, I wrote something similar on Tumblr when I left Austin after living there for 8 years, The Most Beautiful City in the World. Parts of this were later adapted and ran in the Statesman and on PostBourgie: http://jvictoriasanders.com/post/66501262194/the-most-beautiful-city-in-the-world

Last year, I wrote again about the challenges that Black people face in Austin, how a stubborn liberal commitment to our hypervisible invisibility keeps the city from truly reckoning with it’s ultra-whiteness. But Austin is not alone in this — I felt the same feeling in San Francisco, in Seattle. Liberal progressive hubs are not places of comfort or ease for Black women.
