Foretold
Paulina Stevens grew up in an insular Romani American family, destined to leave school, marry young, and become a fortuneteller. By 17, her fate was sealed — until she decided to leave it all behind. "Foretold" follows Paulina as she navigates the consequences of her decision to leave her community and redefine her identity. Hosted by Los Angeles Times reporter Faith Pinho, "Foretold" will take you past the neon "psychic" signs and trendy tarot cards to unravel myths and stereotypes that have followed the Romani people for centuries.

Loved this podcast. I don’t usually write reviews on podcasts but I really enjoyed this one. A glimpse into a different and intriguing culture by a host who kept this story like a page turning book. Looking forward to her next one. 🌟
Foretold is a complete joke

Faith completely glossed over the fact that Paulina is part of the clan that drugged and scammed Karen Young out $1.3 million. These gypsies are still out there scamming people out of millions of dollars. They are living in luxury homes, driving fancy cars and carrying designer handbags and watches.
Wonderful story

Loved this story. Relatable to so many cultures. Paulina is so brave and whenever a woman has to lose her entire culture and family for her choices, it's time to rethink the cultural norms.
Amazing Podcast; Everyone should hear it!

I have been interested in the Romani culture for quite some time. It honestly parallels my own culture in so many ways. I truly admire Romani people for not only knowing their history but cherishing it. I think Paulina’s story is a perfect example of how nuanced our relationship with culture can be. We can love our culture so much but also feel suffocated by it. I wasn't surprised that Paulina learned to love her culture through time because honestly, what she hated was people’s interpretation of what it meant to be Romani. She later learned that she is Romani no matter what and no one could take away her heritage even if they blackballed her in the end. I’m glad she found love and community within the Romani activist movement and I think her voice should be heard and valued within it. Every story is not black and white; right or wrong its so complicated and I think the podcast did a great job of highlighting that. Bravo, Faith and Bravo, Paulina! It was a great ride with you both. Keep sharing about your culture because people want to hear it and its too beautiful to hide away.
