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.
