Every generation births a voice that speaks not just for itself, but for its future. Jessica Annor-Yeboah, known poetically as JAY, is one of those voices.
Currently a student at St. Rose’s Senior High School, JAY is already shaping herself into a beacon for positive societal change, using poetry as her tool of transformation. At an age where most are still finding their footing, JAY is already finding her platform and more importantly, her purpose.
For JAY, poetry isn’t about performance. It’s about possibility the power to question, to uplift, and to imagine a better world. Her verses reflect a deep understanding of today’s challenges and a determination to contribute meaningfully to their solutions.
With an undeniable love for the arts and a growing body of work that reflects thoughtfulness, heart, and clarity, JAY represents a new wave of Ghanaian youth voices unafraid to speak truth to power not with anger, but with elegance.
She steps into the spotlight at the Ehalakasa National Poetry Slam Prelims 2025, not just as a student but as a poet with a purpose.
