Workbook
For Finnish Roma Families
Identity, Prejudice, and Preserving Culture When the World Wants You to Disappear
Your culture survived centuries of pressure. This is where your family names what it kept.
For the Finnish Roma family working under systemic discrimination and the question of what to pass down to the next generation — those who carry Roma identity under pressure and want to name what they are protecting.
The Name It First Experience
Your family is Finnish Roma. You carry a cultural identity that has survived centuries of persecution — from Nazi genocide to Finnish assimilation policies. You also carry something real: Roma values, community, and a way of life that survived all of it. This workbook gives your family a structured space to name what Finnish Roma identity means in your household, what you are choosing to preserve, and what each generation gets to contribute. Grounded in Cross, Helms, Berry, Crenshaw, Hall, and Pulma's Finnish Roma scholarship, you leave holding The Finnish Roma Family Accord. The output is not a conversation. It is a signed document.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What word describes what you most want the next generation to know about being Finnish Roma — before the world tells them what it thinks that means?
- When you look at what your family has preserved through discrimination and assimilation pressure, what do you notice has survived — and what has cost the most to keep?
- What would your family's identity document look like if it named Roma values, community, and way of life on your terms — not Finland's?
