In 1993 she published her first literary work on the political leaders of Guinea, Qui sont ces hommes qui veulent nous gouverner ? [Who are these men who want to govern us ?]. The Universe of Women is her first venture into poetry. Two other titles which examine the problems of contemporary society, due for publication in the near future, are Liens de mariage [Bonds of marriage] and Itinéraire d'enseignante [The path of a female teacher].
