Collaborating Virtually - Aba Cato Andah

Meet Aba Cato Andah, known as "The Hopemonger".  She"s a Psychotherapist, Transformational Speaker, Mental Health Advocate, and co-author of the motivational book "Letters of Hope to My Younger Self", a collaboration with Zoe Baraka.  A book stemmed from the concept of the Brewing Hope Show, "Letters of Hope to My Younger Self" is an epitome of teamwork, bringing together not only Aba and Zoe but also 39 contributors who helped manifest the book into reality. For nearly two years, Aba and Zoe collaborated virtually. Despite meeting in person less than 24 hours before their book launch, this dynamic duo built a relationship akin to sisterhood. It was an emotional journey of getting to know each other while simultaneously creating a powerful piece of literature. Every part of the book, from conceptualization to publishing, was an act of collaboration. Their collaboration process involved deliberate planning and tapping into each other"s strengths. They set goals, established roles, and analyzed what each could bring to the table. This meticulous approach led to a successful blend of their talents, propelling the project forward despite unexpected twists and turns. Aba emphasizes the importance of a strong work ethic, clear communication, and nurturing relationships in any collaboration, whether virtual or in person. She also notes the need to consider legal aspects and encourages looking for collaborators at different levels, as diverse perspectives and skill sets can enrich the final product. Aba"s story is not just about successfully publishing a book; it"s about the power of collaboration, the strength of relationships, and the transformative journey of creating something meaningful together.  Congratulations to Aba, Zoe, and their team for bringing "Letters of Hope to My Younger Self" to life.  Humanity Chats - a conversation about everyday issues that impact humans.
