Welcome

Nanga def? Welcome to Binda Gambia.

There is not much of a publishing industry in The Gambia (and what there is prefers to concentrate on the textbook/schoolbook industry). And yet there are more and more people who write, and whose voices and words are painstakingly constructing a new Gambian literary identity. This site is an attempt to give every Gambian who wants to be heard a platform. If you are a writer and have a piece you want published - be it poetry, prose, fiction, non-fiction - drop me a line at amrangaye [at] gmail [dot]com. I will be happy to hear from you.

In the meantime look around, and enjoy yourself. Leave a comment if you like a particular posting.

Thanks for visiting.

Dark Skin [by Ndey Aaly Cham]

Dark Skin
skin smooth and soft like hershy chocolate
am loving my skin
i've been descriminated for being black and coming from africa
I breath my skin like the air
if staring was a crime brothers already commited one
am not fearful of what people say bout me being dark skin
i might be ugly but damn sure my skin is beautiful
i get complimented by my own brothers
Beautiful skin color, pretty skin colour, damn you sexxy
When can i see you
All that makes me love my skin colour even more
They say i look like fudge brownie and they dont mine eating me
Dark is what i am, and loving the colour.
Dark skin is the hershy chocolate you eat ery day
Whether you love my skin or not
you still eating me
