Jezmina Von Thiele has dealt with it her whole life.



The racist stereotypes. The assumptions. Others labeling her as a nomad, runaway, and a thief.



But rather than shun her Romani heritage, Jezmina leans fully into it. Through her podcast, social media channels, and new book, Jezmina represents swaths of "outcasts" in this country. A nonbinary woman of Romani heritage, Jezmina uses her platforms to fight for the world she's dreamt of feeling safe in -- a world where people of all belief systems, sexual orientations, and physical appearances can live in harmony.



But for that world to exist, the rest of us non-Romani people (gadje) need to understand first who the Romani people are, where they come from, and why -- in an era when we're heightened to the experiences of outcasts -- no one seems to care about the Romani people.



In today's conversation from my makeshift home studio in downtown Portsmouth, Jezmina Von Thiele and I discuss this subject and much more, including:




• Who are the Roma? (00:00)


• Identifying as queer + nonbinary (11:56)


• How COVID ravaged Jezmina's life (19:50)


• Grappling with a new life (26:53)


• Jezmina's new book (34:52)


• Palm reading, Evil Eye, and talking to horses (37:40)


• The normalization of anti-Romani racism (46:30)


• Book tour details (51:37)


• What's your mission? (54:12)
