On Our Terms with Ismatou Bah
Welcome to On Our Terms with Ismatou Bah: a brave space for the unfiltered conversations we don't typically see in mainstream media, anchored by guests who are living life on their own terms. Every conversation is carved with a sociologist's eye, through the lens of Ismatou's competing identities as a first-generation, Guinean-Muslim, native New Yorker. On Our Terms is where those seemingly disparate identities converge, convene, and come home. Just remember: this is NOT a safe space, it’s a brave space.

Be Brave! What's on your mind?
Ismatou sits down with content creator Aissatou Baldé, mom of three, full-time worker, and one of the most visible Fulani women on the internet, for a conversation about bodies, beauty, and the things our community refuses to say out loud.
We get into being hyper-visible as a Muslim woman, then dig into the hard stuff: the body shaming Fulani and Guinean communities have gotten away with for too long, the West African beauty standard and its colonial roots, the BBL-ification of our traditional wear, and our contradictory relationship with food, where "finish your plate" and "you're getting big" live in the same house.
