Yup, just as you read it, "THE" Gambia, make sure not to call her country plain 'Gambia' or to call it 'small' or Adam Lee Bah - our resident Gambian student - will be correcting you. In this episode of NYIT International, Lee tries to explain some of the deep-rooted West African practices she grew up with, while reminiscing on all the good, the bad and the ugly parts of her childhood there. She shares courageously on difficult topics like feminism and female genital mutilation, as well as sheds some knowledge, hope and light on what it means to be an ambitious African female leader and media-maker.
