Hearts Wide Open: A Bastion Of Hope For Those In Need with Nana Aba Anamoah

The late US President, John F. Kennedy, once said, "Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country." This very line is what moved Nana Aba Anamoah, one of the most prominent journalists in all of Ghana, to start the Hearts Wide Open non-profit organization, where she establishes a support system for those in desperate need of help in Ghana—be that from jobs to school fees to the health sector to supporting the LGBTQ community, and more. In this episode, she joins Corinna Bellizzi to talk about this important work in her life, what they are doing to change lives, and how Nana is using stories to connect others to the organization. Don't miss out on this inspiring conversation as you keep your hearts wide open!
