About

Sanman Thapa writes about labor, migration, memory, and the quiet reckonings that shape a life.

Born in Nepal and now living in the United States, his work explores survival, dignity, displacement, and the complicated space between cultures. His memoir A Fight for a Cup of Chai traces a journey through factory labor, injury, immigration, and resilience. His novella From the Window reflects on youth, longing, and the fragile architecture of hope.

Beyond writing, Sanman is a bilingual school counselor committed to supporting immigrant students and families. His professional work informs his belief that every story carries weight — especially those often overlooked.

He writes to remember.
He writes to honor.
He writes because stories travel where people sometimes cannot.
