Following weeks of anticipation, hours’ worth of writing and steel determination, Musa Bassadi Jawara’s memoir has now hit the printing press.
The book, titled From Village Life in The Gambia to Global Views in Washington DC and Beyond, according to one review, is a powerful exploration of resilience and determination, bridging the gap between cultures.
Mr. Jawara described the printing of his book as a milestone moment as it shows the memoir’s metamorphosis from “manuscript to a masterpiece.”

From the rice fields that span as far as the naked eye can see to the majestic grandeur of Washington DC, Jawara’s story is a testament to the power of resilience and hope.
“This is not a philosophical treatise or a dogmatic exploration, but a straightforward account of my life, shaped by the people and experiences that have touched my heart,” the author highlighted.
He invites readers to join him on a voyage that “defies expectations, a journey born in the sun-kissed villages of The Gambia, where the rhythm of life is dictated by the rise and fall of the sun”.
To be published on September 1st, the memoir is a testament to the values instilled in the author by his late parents Aja Bintou Fatty and Bassadi Jawara as well as the incredible experiences that have shaped him.
“I dedicate this memoir to you, with all my love and gratitude. Thank you for being my pillars of strength and inspiration,” author Musa Bassadi Jawara wrote about his supportive late parents.
“It’s going to be an outstanding and sensational read,” Jawara said of his memoir.
Indeed, Jawara shared his story with the world with authenticity and “raw honesty”, an unblemished reflection of his truth “unfiltered and unapologetic”.
