Tamara Rakić

 I am a Serbian-Romani writer, a single mother, and a warrior who has lived through my own odyssey in the Balkans. Everything I write comes from survival and a lifelong passion for the ancient world.

I am the owner of the story 'The Woman Who Kissed Achilles'. My protagonist is not Briseis or Helen of Troy; she is a defiant, wise Romani woman who belongs to no king. She stands before the greatest warrior of all time and asks: 'Do you dare to burn with me while Troy burns? To kiss me like a god and love me like a man?' This is the story of a woman who defied destiny, gods, and kings so that her son could become a man of peace, not a warrior like his father, Achilles; she is the woman who made the world’s greatest hero tremble.


My mission is to strengthen the position of women by showcasing their wisdom, unique perspective, and unparalleled resourcefulness. I write to reclaim the beauty of a woman’s soul that remains unbroken even in the harshest times. This project is the 'Balkan Fire' that the West is missing an authentic, visceral perspective that breathes life into the blood and grit of the ancient world.


Beside my epic prose, I am a self-made entrepreneur who independently built and manages a community of over 56,000 people. I know how to speak to the heart of the crowd because I live and work among them every day.

My poetry, 'The Legacy of the White Gypsy', is a debt I owe to myself and a legacy for my daughter. I build worlds for the misunderstood those who walk through a world of stone with a heart made of glass. This is my heart on the paper: a legacy written in blood, survival, and the refusal to be just a footnote.
