On Our Terms with 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.
