Mummy...don't talk about my body ft. Aissatou Balde (@talesandturbans)

Be Brave! What's on your mind? [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2352030/fan_mail/new] 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.
