Many thanks to Lisa Smith at Travellers Times for featuring my audio-reading and full article text of my paper “Healing Hidden Identity : The Lost Romani Generation”, from which I read an excerpt on Roma Genocide Remembrance Day, August 2nd, online memorial event hosted by Look and Don’t Forget;
I have just read and listened to your words on the Traveller’s Times website Imogen and I needed to find you online to say an emphatic “me too”! Thank you for sharing this so eloquently and movingly. I am a daughter of a silenced Romany family and your words and experience resonate very deeply with me as I seek to name and reclaim my Gypsy heritage with pride and a longing to heal those deep and nameless wounds of the ancestors and understand myself and my line with more clarity and compassion.
I could say so much! But mostly I just wanted to say thank you and kushti bok.
Your weaving is exquisite and you are not only weaving yarn but words of profound truth and wisdom…
