The process of writing this book, improved my relationship with money because it made me confront a lot of the reasons I feel the way I do.
Growth from a transgenerational and soceital mentality
Oregha Uwagba-splits her latest book. We Need to Talk about Money, between cultural commentary an memoir, Pouring a mix of data, personal experiences, and the experiences of generations before her onto her pages was the unwrittenrecipe to confronting financial taboos
Money as a state of mind
While money is a tangible, worldly possession, it is also a state of mind. Uwagha discusses the effects currency has over all facets of life and how our perception of it shapes our interaction with it. Talking through her own relationship with money helped her grow from the proverbial boogeyman it once was
If money can evolve from valuables like salt in Ancient Rome, why shouldn't women grow from societal and behavioural expectations? Uwagba's analysis on what wealth means and how we discuss it is her steady path to financial freedom. It's meta like that.
We grow and evolve with each new experience. Tomorrow’s you is different than yesterday’s you.
What means the world to you if money
means the world to me.
Growth is only possible with embrace. Uwagha's savvy comes from her desire to observe and, improve change where she feels necessary. Growth is a constant practice, so is talking together, they walk hand in hand towards a better understanding and holistic peace.
There is strength and wisdom to be learned in taking
the financial responsibility of one's life, and there is
beauty in strength. Uwagba's personal investigation is
atool of ownership and empowering womanhood.
