A NOTE FROM LAMIN

I started this newsletter because the long-form ideas in my books don’t fit neatly into social media posts. If you care about thoughtful writing on migration, identity, and African inner life, this letter is for you.

I write the way I read — slowly, with attention. You’ll get one letter per month. Nothing else.

— Lamin
