« My mother is of Romani origin and my father is a Czech. It's an added value, because I can understand both cultures. I can talk with Roma without any prejudice, which is very important for them to trust me. And the fact that I don't look like a Roma also makes things easier to communicate with politicians, because I don't have to prove my qualities before. I feel like a bridge between these two worlds. ». PHOTO Vincent Boisot
