Today is Romani Resistance Day.

On this day, 16th May 1944, Roma and Sinti people in Auschwitz-Birkenau resisted Nazi soldiers, delaying executions in the ‘Gypsy Camp’ for several months.

We honour the bravery and strength of all the Roma and Sinti people.

We're running online focus groups to discuss Romani & Traveller women's experiences of domestic violence and are seeking participants who are aged 18 or over and identify as Romani. To take part, get in touch with the brilliant Michaela Rogers @[email protected]

That’s a wrap on dclin season. 2 interviews and 2 rejections. It’s time to accept this is not for me and move on.

👇 did you know, that people like the ones in the photos here, get classified as ‘White’ in the UK and excluded from EDI initiatives aimed at to help PoC. Because it is easier to dismiss the racism the Roma face then? (1/)

Last dclin interview completed ✅. Now I can relax and recharge in Greece.

Nothing infuriates me more than councils telling people to go rent privately. As if you can do that easily in London. Someone making £8.50 an hour could never afford it. These corrupt councils are turning homeless people away, so they can sell council homes for profit.

Saw someone suggesting to use chat gpt to generate dclin interview questions for prep, so I tried it and it’s spot on! Some of them even came up on my last interview.

I'm creating 3-5 short films about the mental health epidemic amongst the Gypsy and Traveller communities for the NHS Race and Health Observatory.

We need performers and writers, survivors and thrivers to help tell our deepest, darkest stories in the most enlightening way.

I think this article meant well, but what a sorry state of affairs when a marginalised community has to highlight its own sacrifices in a war in order to prove that it shouldn’t be ostracised and racially attacked within its own borders during peace time

I was so enthusiastic this morning and that rejection really messed up my day. I’m just not in a good mental state. These courses need to do better and start considering mental health of applicants and show a bit of compassion.

Coming into a dclin interview with a panel of 3 white women I already knew I wasn’t gonna get on but getting a rejection on my birthday is not something I anticipated.

Does anyone know why the Low intensity day at BABCP conference went up in price so much? Going from £35 to £75 is way more than just inflation. BABCP Low Intensity SIG are you aware of this?

If you’re booking your holiday avoid loveholidays at all cost!! Worst customer service I’ve come across. The amount of extra money I had to pay due to their lack of transparency is ridiculous.
