Ijahra Larry is a writer, author, performer, civic leader and a farmer, who employs a lyrical and introspective style of creativity to embark on a charming expedition through the intricate tapestry of emotions, experiences, and aspirations. Currently working on his debut publication as an individual which is a poetry collection, his other published work is a short story titled ‘Playing Pilolo with the Soldiers’, which featured in the Ama Ata Aidoo Center for Creative Writing’s The Lockdown Diaries anthology, which was put together by Nana Achampong. Ijahra writes and performs under the moniker ‘The Teller’. His writing took shape during his time as a student at the African University College of Communications, where he was a Communications student specializing in Journalism. He discovered during this period that the music lyrics he had dabbled with as a youngster back in high school was actually poetry, and further honed his writing skills. He has performed on stages like the Ghana Poetry Festival, Daadin Baaki Poetry Show, Labarin Zango and others.
