I am Lamin Ceesay, a passionate author exploring the themes of migration, culture, and self-discovery through storytelling. My writing delves into the human experience, capturing the struggles, hopes, and triumphs of those who journey across borders—both physical and emotional.

Growing up, I was deeply influenced by stories of movement and transformation, shaping my perspective on identity, belonging, and resilience. Through my books and blog, I share narratives that bridge cultures and spark conversations about what it truly means to find “home.”

When I’m not writing, I’m immersed in research, engaging with communities, and exploring the intersections of history and personal journeys. My mission is to give voice to untold stories, inspiring readers to reflect on their own paths.

Join me in this literary journey as we navigate the complexities of migration, culture, and self-discovery—one story at a time.

Hey there! Let me tell you about myself—I’m Lamin Ceesay, an author passionate about storytelling and exploring themes of migration, culture, and self-discovery. Originally from The Gambia, I’ve now made my home in Milan, Italy.

In addition to my writing, I work in the electrical industry, specifically as an Electrical Back-office Commissioning Specialist. This role allows me to immerse myself in technology while fueling my creativity as an author.

As a writer, I draw inspiration from my own experiences and the stories of those around me. I want to share the depth of the human experience, focusing on the struggles and triumphs faced by individuals who navigate life’s challenges. My recent books, Five and Half Senses and The Little Book of Afrocanos, reflect this journey. Five and Half Senses invites readers to explore the world through a unique lens, encouraging a deeper understanding of perception and reality. In The Little Book of Afrocanos, I celebrate the rich cultural ocean of African communities, showcasing stories that resonate with themes of identity and belonging.

When not writing or working, I enjoy engaging with local communities and delving into research that enriches my understanding of history and personal journeys. I aim to give voice to untold stories and inspire readers to reflect on their paths.

Storytelling is a powerful tool for bringing people together, bridging cultural divides, and fostering empathy. If you’re looking for compelling narratives that make you think about the complexities of migration and identity, I invite you to explore my books and join me on this literary journey.
