Welcome! I’m Dr. Mawdo M. Fall—author, educator, and speaker—committed to telling stories and sharing ideas that inspire resilience, growth, and transformation.
My debut novel, Unshattered, introduced readers to Bakari Koulibaly’s journey of hope and self-discovery in 1990s Senegal. But my work doesn’t end on the page. Whether through fiction, teaching, or speaking, my mission is to create spaces where people can connect, reflect, and reimagine what’s possible in their own lives and communities.
Here, you’ll find more about my books, upcoming projects, and speaking engagements. Whether you’re a reader, an event organizer, an educator, or someone who simply believes in the power of stories, I’m glad you’re here—and I look forward to connecting with you.

About Unshattered
"It contains so much voice, culture, and detail. I very much enjoyed it. I loved the rich sensory details and authenticity of the story. The feeling of the boy and his family were familiar, which drew me in. Bravo!"
