Welcome! I’m Dr. Mawdo M. Fall, and I’m thrilled to introduce my debut novel, Unshattered.

This deeply personal story follows Bakari, a young boy in 1990s Senegal, as he navigates resilience, hope, and the challenges of growing up in the face of loss, and you know, everything that comes with being a teenager.

Through my stories, I want to inspire, connect, and celebrate the strength found in our shared humanity—and maybe even give you a few reasons to laugh along the way.
