Activism Award Winners Announcement
On the evening of August 31st, the Pan-African Gala and Award night ceremony was held as one of the key events during the AAMA. We recognized and honored African activism through the presentation of three awards: ’Activist of the Year’, ‘Movement of the Year’, and the ‘Artistic Activist of the Year’. The awards support individuals and movements, aiming to bring positive societal change.
