He's also the leader of the group that won the Rising Awareness Action pitch competition on Saturday, receiving a $100,000 grant to launch advocacy programs in their communities, reportslacebase.com.

Zama's group will use the money to advocate for inclusive political activities for people with hearing impairments.
