Fama Diagne Sène (born 1969, Thiès) is a Senegalese writer.

[1] Ken Bugul listed her among "illustrious women" in Senegalese literature.

[2][3] In 1997, she won the presidential award for art and literature with Chant des ténèbres.

In pre-colonial times, right until recently, some Serer griots were buried in the trunks of a baobab tree rather than buried in a pyramid tomb with all the regalia dictated by Serer religion.

In this play, she criticises this tradition and came head on with the Serer priestly class.
