It has been some 40 odd years since I’ve heard the words, “I have no choice.” For me, they epitomized the struggle—the moment by moment struggle of marginalized people making room for themselves in a world full of unwelcome. As a lesbian (who is also a woman of color), Opa Hysea-Wise has experienced discrimination and has struggled her whole life to find a sense of belonging
