I am very interested in volunteering with a Roma organization in Europe this summer--specifically in Spain. I am hoping to move back soon (after I graduate with my MA) and would like to be able to…Continue

It has been a long time since I could be here. I have much work and have had a very bad sickness. I feel like I've been neglectful of things here at Khetanes - and apologize very much for that,

As a light-skinned Roma woman I am doubting my place as an activist for Roma rights. I enjoy privilege and difference that does not make me an accurate representation of the people on behalf of which I speak. I feel like I am a liar or a sham, or worse… because I have, for all intents and purposes, white skin.
Within my own community, this is not easily accepted. I am called out on a regular basis by other Roma who are angry…

I am meeting with an anthropology professor here at my university this week (I hope). I have guest lectured in her classes several times about Roma Human Rights issues, as well as the Porajmos. I want to ask her if we can make a proposal to the head of the department. I want to be able to teach all the anthropology classes about Roma... if they were to say yes, then I would approach other departments--such as…

I know this is not the primary focus of this site--but at the present time, writing letters is really all I feel I can do in order to help my fellow Roma. This only took a couple of hours--and it will take a couple of dollars to send them.
Really, it's the least I can do. Literally, because I have no other way to help right now.
I took a…

Ed 'Sky' Walkinstik-man-alone said… I am honored with your friendship Qristina, welcome aboard.
I have read a little of your plight and can only offer this observation......
Yes, there are 'Roma' in America. They are just stereotyped into one box with the others called 'Gypsy.' One of the largest 'Roma' families lives in Florida; the Adams Family or Adamonovitches (sp) of Hungarian/Romanian extraction with more of that same family in California around the Sacramento, Santa Rosa area and also in Hawaii. Some are personal musician friends of mine such as Juan Adamono (King of the Guitar), H/R extraction whom I had hired to perform at the college I was attending in 1975/76 for a cultural exchange ... American River College in Sacramento, CA.(Documented)
That is like Europeans telling me that there are no 'real' American Indians in Europe! That American Indians are just 'legendary toys' from a 'Karl May' fiction novel of a Race of People now extinct. A few hundred of us Real (sic) 'Indians' over here would venture to argue that idiotic point! I have often heard that 'ignorance is bliss'; I still meet a lot of people who keep trying to prove the validity of that statement!
My advice would be.....
Do speak and be heard. Speak with the pride of who and what you are from the heart. People need to be educated, not stereotyped! The question isn't thinking your not good enough....you are! People just have problems dealing with the truth when they hear it from someone who has lived it. If you don't speak, who will? Can they express your thoughts and feelings as you would? No, they can't! They haven't walked that mile in your moccasins yet, have they?
Walk in beauty Qristina,
'Sky'
