In a time when many are searching for meaning, Princess Lawrencia Ibizugbe, known by her literary alias P.L.A.N.S, is quietly, confidently writing a revolution.
A level 200 student at the University of Ghana, studying Linguistics and Sociology, P.L.A.N.S is more than just an emerging poet she is a mirror to society and a mouthpiece for transformation. Her name, stylized in caps, doubles as both an identity and a quiet manifesto. “Writing,” she says, “is both a voice and a mirror.” That ethos defines everything she creates.
P.L.A.N.S draws inspiration from lived experiences—personal reflections, societal observations, moments of stillness in nature. Her poetry doesn’t scream; it listens, lingers, and liberates. She writes for change, but also for clarity. Her words explore self-recognition, social justice, emotional wellness, and the aching beauty of the ordinary.
A true Ghanaian polyglot, she expresses herself in English, Ga, Twi, and is adding French to her arsenal—not just linguistically, but poetically. Her cultural fluency enriches her poetry with subtle layers of identity, community, and global consciousness.
Her debut stage performance at the Ehalakasa National Prelims 2024 marked the moment P.L.A.N.S went from pen to platform. With quiet intensity and unshakable grace, she delivered verses that resonated far beyond the walls they were spoken in. Now, with her debut book “Melancholic Empath” underway, she’s stepping into a broader literary light.
Writing is her calling, her craft, and her compass. And as P.L.A.N.S continues to rise, she reminds us all that poetry is not just an art form it is a healing force, a reflection, and sometimes, a roadmap.

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.
