Anina Ciuciu
Anina Ciuciu, born in January 1990 in Craiova, Romania, is a French writer of Roma origin from Romania.
Biography[edit]
She was born in 1990 in Craiova, in a quarter reserved for Roma people in a house with dirt floors1. Her family is sedentary. Her father is an accountant, her mother is a caretaker. When she was 7 years old her father decided to emigrate to France.
A smuggler left the family in a suburb of Rome in a camp of 800 Roma people. To survive, Anina had to beg together with her mother and sisters. In July 1997, the family arrived to France to a city of medium size, Bourg-en-Bresse.1 With the help of two women they found a place to stay and she and her sisters started attending school and learning French.2 After a period of undocumented life, in hiding, her parents managed to find jobs and obtained residence cards.3
Successful in her studies, Anina was admitted in July 2012 to a Master's degree in law at the Sorbonne University in Paris and received a scholarship.4 Frédéric Veille, an RTL journalist, who has written several successful biographies, convinced her to write a book about her life and career. She was interviewed in radios, TV, and newspapers, where she presented herself as both Roma and integrated into the French society. She is trying to change the public opinion and dismantle the prejudices on the community, from which she comes. During the summer of 2013, 15 years after she had arrived in France, her application for naturalization had finally been accepted.1 In September 2013, Antoine de Caunes had her debate with Éric Ciotti in the Grand Journal.5
On 3 April 2014, Anina Ciuciu was appointed honorary counselor on Roma issues to the Romanian Prime Minister.
