Hi, I'm Shamseeya Rabi'u Garba, also known as Jikar Garba, a storyteller at heart, a poet by soul, and a writer with no borders.
I write novels and poetry that explore love, loss, healing, identity, and the quiet battles we fight behind closed doors. My pen is drawn to real emotion, deep truths, and the stories we often leave untold.
I don't box my voice, I write across cultures, across lives, and across genres. Whether in Hausa, English, or a beautiful mix of both, my words are for anyone who has ever felt deeply.
