“We choke on the myth of the model minority, the Othering we suffer scars our souls, and we suffocate from the unacceptance we feel from all sides. In order to survive, some of us let go of our language, our history, our heritage, only to be met with scorn. Some of us struggle to find our way back, only to discover, often, there is no “back” to be had. We are lost between two worlds. We reside in the orbit of power, but it burns.”
