Question

Does it make a difference which miqveh to go to if you are sefardi or ashkenazi? I am sefardi.

Answer

A kosher mikveh will be acceptable to both sephardim and ashkenazim. There are some specific groups with special requirements, for example Chabad, but this is not the case for sephardim in relation to ashkenazim.
