On Our Terms with Ismatou Bah
by Ismatou Bah
After growing up in a Guinean-Muslim home in Queens, earning scholarships to attend an elite Prep school and New York University, and eventually landing in the world of tech, Ismatou has felt forced to compartmentalize her various identities and life experiences. But as she charges through her 20s, she’s learned that those disparate experiences are the things that render her perspective unique. So welcome to On Our Terms–the place where those disparate identities converge, convene and come home—featuring your host, Ismatou Bah, the big sister who fucks up so you don’t have to.

Mummy...thanks for making me a REAL New Yorker
Be Brave! What's on your mind? Solo catch-up time. Ismatou takes on the transplant vs. REAL New Yorker discourse, reflections from her boarding school reunion, and being West African in corporate (she got promoted) and what you have to unlearn to thrive. Plus Summer House: the Amanda and Ciara debacle, filtered through her own friendships with white girls in boarding school.

Mummy...don't talk about my body ft. Aissatou Balde (@talesandturbans)
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.Follow us on all socials @onourtermspod and your host Ismatou Bah @uotamsi on IG.Don’t forget to follow our guest @talesandturbans on all platforms.

Be Brave! What's on your mind? Tune into Part 2 with Aminatou (@aminathree). Blossoming sibling dynamics, building a (non-traditional) content career as West African woman with no traditional industry backing, and more funny chit-chat. We kept it cute for Part 1, and all I can say is...we tried for Part 2.

Mummy...Imma do what I want, whether you like it or not ft. Aminatou | Part 1
Be Brave! What's on your mind? Aminatou (@aminathree) pulled up to OOT and….DID. NOT. HOLD. BACK. Growing up (Guinean) Fulani under one of the most conservative strains of Islam, leaving the faith, telling her parents to their faces, and still living under their roof. Then we got into her parents, the relationship with her dad, the fracture with her mom, and whether misogyny shapes which parent gets grace and which one doesn't. Part 1 of 2, and we were just getting started.Stay tuned for part 2 coming soon!Follow us on all socials @onourtermspod and your host Ismatou Bah @uotamsi on IG. Follow Aminatou @aminathree.
