Episode 4 of Our Terms is an insightful and necessary conversation with Millie Cooper. Millie is a 24 year old Romany "Gypsy" and we have spent our time discussing her life and the lack of representation of the Romany culture. We delve into prejudice and why it is important to bolster Romany "Gypsy" voices rather than steal and commodify them. Millie also talks about her upcoming documentary featuring Romany women and their lives. The documentary also exemplifies how Millie's life has influenced her to speak up within the public domain. Millie lays out the significance of recognising her culture beyond the scope of historic labelling and details why it is important to not put her heritage into a category.


This podcast was recorded in accordance with the UK government's laws during this pandemic. Again, this podcast is unscripted. Millie's openness has truly amazed me and her honest and frank words have educated me on subject's I was unaware of. I hope the same will go for everyone listening, as brushing this culture under the carpet is no longer acceptable. Our Terms for you all listening is to leave your prejudice at the door. Remain open and understand that the racism within society is no longer acceptable in any way. Millie and her truth are real: listen, learn and care.
