About
Jaycee Kesh
Akinsanya
Author · Explorer · Nourisher
Kesh was born in Monrovia, Liberia and is an avid explorer of world cultures. He has lived in seven countries, walks the Camino de Santiago as a yearly realignment, practices organic farming, and writes about all of it.
He believes that how you feed people and how you move through the world are the same conversation. That nourishment is love made visible. That the soil knows before we do.
He is the founder of Ten Yellow Vespas Company, a creative enterprise built around food, travel, and belonging, and the author of War, Momma, and Me and the forthcoming Kesh's Table.
He writes at In Precise Stride weekly, dispatches on food, travel, grief, and the practice of living deliberately.
The Written Word
Two kitchens.
Two worlds.
A memoir written after losing Gloria. A cookbook born in her kitchen. Two stories about where we come from and how we carry it forward.
Memoir · 2018
War, Momma, and Me
At eleven years old, Kesh was a civilian in a civil war. His compass was his mother, Gloria, a woman who navigated their family to safety with what seemed like ease. A story of survival, love, and the inheritance of dignity.

"These are the places that keep calling me back. The Camino. Vietnam. Türkiye. Portugal. Egypt. Each one asks something different of the traveler."
Small groups only. Cultural immersion, not tourism. If any of these destinations are calling you too, reach out and we find the timing together. No locked calendars. Just an honest conversation about when you're ready.
