“Poetry is the bridge between hidden emotions and shared ideas.” These are the heartfelt words of Whinna Yentem, a rising star in Ghana’s spoken word scene. Hailing from Kongo in the Upper East Region, Whinna is more than a poet—she is a veterinarian, writer, MC, and voiceover artist who channels her passion into every line she performs.
A Creative Journey
Whinna’s journey into poetry began two years ago, driven by her love for wordplay and the power of language to connect and inspire. For her, poetry is more than an art form—it is a way to express hidden emotions, address pressing issues, and motivate others who can relate.
“Poetry allows me to creatively express myself and connect with others through the power of language,” Whinna reflects. With her vibrant energy and unique perspective, she has quickly made a name for herself as a force to be reckoned with in the spoken word community.
