Episode #7 - Fictional Heroes: Real-Life Role Models for Roma Youth

In the second episode of "Amaro Voice", host Sejnur Memisi and co-host Melissa Sejdi delve into the central topic of role models for young Sinti and Roma. They share personal experiences from their youth and reflect on which role models played a significant role in their lives. They also discuss exciting fictional characters from the DC and Marvel universes who were originally portrayed as Roma - including iconic characters such as Robin from Batman, Wanda and Dr. Doom. In contrast, they take a critical look at stereotypical representations in Disney children's series that reproduce Antigipsysm clichés. In the second round of their rubric "Breaking Stereotypes about Roma", they continue to shed light on common prejudices and their impact on the perception of the Sinti and Roma community.
