MEET OUR SPEAKERS To wrap up the month and the quarter by extension, we’ll be hosting the third edition of the LIVE Upwork Q&A Session with Top Nigerian Earners. 🔥 We’ll be having highly experienced speakers and panelists to answer all questions you have about Upwork and share extensively from their wealth of knowledge. Our first speaker is the elegant Chiamaka Adeline (@amakaezeks). She’s a digital project manager and the founder of WoqFlowz, where she and her team train students for the global market. She also contributes largely to the community by sharing expert tips to help beginners scale. She’ll bring all that knowledge and passion. Our second speaker is the exceptional Damilola Esebame (@efeoise_). He’s a global finance journalist with works appearing in leading outlets such as Investing.com, Benzinga, and FinanceFeeds. On the side, he co-parents Freelance Varsity, a community that connects freelancers to remote gigs, practical strategies and the support they need to flourish. He comes along with that enthusiasm and experience. Our ever-active moderator remains our one and only Ronald Eguh (@Tech_babby). TechBaby, also known as Ronald Eguh, is a Product Marketing Manager working across EdTech and SaaS, and the founder of BuildHubb. Through BuildHubb, he helps people access scholarships, training programs, and partnerships that open doors to in-demand tech skills. This Saturday, he brings all that energy and experience with him. I’ll also be joining the session to share insights from building Freelancers Corner and working closely with freelancers and helping them navigate Upwork daily. I’ve helped almost 100 people get results on Upwork this year alone, and I hope to help more from this space. The session is brought to you by Freelancers Corner, a growing community focused on helping African freelancers grow faster, position better, and earn smarter through collaboration and practical guidance. You can join us here: t.me/FreelancersCor… As usual, all our speakers are committed to impacting and transforming lives through shared knowledge from experience.

Pewbeam is live 🎉 This was just a dream, a dream I didn’t even know was possible—but I decided to pursue it anyway. Today, that dream is now a reality. We have a desktop app (Windows and macOS—this weekend) that can do all of this and even more. Over the last six months, I’ve pushed myself and my team hard, and I’ve seen people become hopeful and genuinely blessed by this product. I’ve received strong support from pastors, church members, techies, and several media houses and reporters. It has been a great honor to spend myself on something worthwhile. We’ve built an AI-native presentation app that displays relevant scriptures on screen in under 80 ms, without needing a volunteer. We’re starting with scriptures, but we’re growing into a comprehensive presentation software, with slides launching next month. From testing @pewbeam_ai in churches over the last four weeks, pastors have been able to focus on what matters instead of juggling or micromanaging the media team while preaching. Church members have been able to follow their pastor’s references in real time and take better notes. In the words of a member from one of the test churches: “Pewbeam changed the way I follow sermons in church completely.” This is the kind of impact I see Pewbeam having on people’s faith and on how church and worship are done. Pewbeam’s mission is to ensure the Church is not left behind in the AI era. We’re starting with this application, with many more to come in the next few months. We’ll keep working with stakeholders in the Christian faith, collect feedback, and build tools that better support discipleship. And unlike previous waves of technology, I believe we can be among the first movers in this AI revolution. With all that said, the final build of the app is ready, and we’re launching for public download on February 25, 2026. The app has a generous free tier for small churches and fellowships, and a paid plan (location-based pricing) that unlocks unlimited access to all features. If you’ve been following this journey, I appreciate you, and I assure you it will be worth it. Please download, subscribe, and use in your church.
