Aisha Ba is a model, dancer, content creator, and immigrant mom living in South Korea - and the path that brought her to Asia is a story in itself. Let's start by talking about her roots: she grew up in South Tyrol, Italy, a region that once belonged to Austria, with a German-speaking Italian mother and a Pulaar-speaking Senegalese father. Can her story give more melting-pot vibes than that? Well, it can… she found her soulmate in South Korea and started a family with him.

In this episode, Aisha shares what it was like growing up in Italy, how she went from pursuing a PhD in economics to chasing her passion for dance, and what ultimately brought her to Seoul. We cover topics like identity, risk-taking, love across cultures, struggles, and what it really means to create a home abroad.
