Ollie鈥檚 story is about being Roma 鈥� a culture filled with a rich tradition and strong family values, yet often portrayed in negative ways and have face discrimination and persecution for centuries. Ollie wants to use his voice to challenge these perceptions and help his people have their stories heard.
Ollie was born into two cultures and as he grew closer to the Roma side of the family, he has spent most of his life balancing the pride that comes with being Roma with the fear of how he will be perceived not just by society, but by those closest to him. Confused about his identity, and needing answers to why these misconceptions exist, through conversations with family and friends Ollie aims to amplify his voice so others in his community can feel confident to do the same.
