Happy Gypsy, Roma, and Traveller Pride Month, and Happy LGBTQ+ Pride Month! We're celebrating with mini interviews with LGBTQ+ Roma exclusively on Instagram Live, so follow us there for the celebration.

This interview doesn't really have anything to do with pride month specifically, but we have a delicious discussion with Mark Adams, co-owner of the popular California Bay area, Romani-American food truck, Holy Chile Mole, which he runs with his wife. We talk about food fusion, comfort food, the ins and outs of running a food truck, and the benefits of working family trades and also doing your own thing instead.

Find Holy Chile Mole's schedule and menu here https://holychilemole.com/ and follow them on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter @holychilemole.

Romani crush for this episode is @AnyaTheodora1

We started a Ko-fi fundraiser to help us expand. Our goal is to release 2 episodes a month, create video content, like an advice column and other treats, and we would also like to register as a nonprofit so we can produce content by other Romani & Sinti creators. We are hoping to cover production costs, like paying for our hosting site, website, editing and producing, and all the rest. We would love it if you could contribute and spread the word. The link, Ko-fi.com/romanistan, is in our bio on Instagram, and will be in the show notes

Please rate, review, and subscribe. It helps us so much. 

If you would like to advertise with us, email us at [email protected]. We offer sliding-scale for Romani, Sinti & related businesses, so reach out!
