About the writer

The person
behind the prose.

Mimi Adebayo writes stories about people: the private negotiations, surprising turns, and quiet truths that shape ordinary lives.

Uncanny Perspectives is her home for serial fiction, standalone stories, poetry, and reflections, including series such as Forty and Counting, The Siblings, and Group Chat.

Her work is warm, observant, and unafraid to look twice—because there is almost always more to a story than its first telling.
