The past couple of days has been intense for us at Beam Africa. While reviewing the post entries for the Beam writing competition, we had to manage the upcoming AMA with Senator Ihenyen on a very sensitive issue affecting the world at this delicate time — Police brutality and human right violation. The AMA with Senator was an outstanding success btw.

We had to juggle between promoting the AMA with Senator and reviewing entries for the writing contest, which was super fun and exciting, and we enjoyed every bit of the endeavour. We’re glad that both endeavours were a remarkable success, and to crown off that success, we are here to announce the winners of both the writing contest and the AMA session’s most engaging questions all in one post.

You may notice that the amount of Beam promised is slightly lower than the amount rewarded, and that’s because, within the past week, the price of Beam astronomically increased by almost 50%.
