" Um … I’ve exercise in different industries . "

The new season ofLove is Blindis officially here and it’s filled with the relationship drama we’ve grown to love on reality TV.

But before we could fully invest in each couple, the new cast had to determine who their perfect match truly was.

During that process, we met marriage hopefulMiriam Amah. She’s a scientist from Nigeria who came to the States to continue her education.

Miriam chatted with fellow contestant Uche to see if they were compatible, and while Uche was asking questions about what she did for a living, things got a little confusing.

Miriam told Uche that she planned on studying medicine at first. So, he asked her what she ended up studying instead. She replied:

And of course he had a follow-up question:

With a slight hesitation, Miriam replied, “Um, I’ve worked in different industries.” She confirmed that she currently works in academia overseas, in the Middle East.

A little shocked that she currently works overseas, Uche questioned when she planned on moving back, and the conversation continued on like this:

Miriam can not be bank , she do n’t sit well in my spirit at all#LoveIsBlind 😩 😩 😩 😩 😩 #loveisblind5pic.twitter.com/1zUdwEcQur

After watching the scene, many viewers were left feeling a little baffled:

Well, after noticing people were having trouble figuring out her place of residence and what her chosen career path is, Miriam decided to clear the air with an explanation video. According to her, that scene was heavily “chopped and screwed” by the production team.

In the video, Miriam revealed that she really is a scientist — an analytical chemist, to be exact. She has a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from the University of Houston Downtown and a master’s degree in biotechnology from Johns Hopkins University.

She started off working in the oil and gas industry before pivoting to pharmaceuticals. She worked overseas as a subject-matter expert at a research institution, which is why she referred to it as “academia” on the show.

As far as her skincare brand, that’s 100% real as well, and the packaging is really cute! It’s calledZack and Lucy.

Miriam explained that she struggled with dry, inflammatory skin in the past so she created a line of clean, body butters to help with that.

She added that she was just getting started with building her brand when filming began for the show, so she was still trying to figure things out…hence her getting tongue-tied.

Now, if that isn’t the perfect way to promote your business, I don’t know what is!
