With money habits formed by age 7, our culture and formative backgrounds undoubtedly play an important role in shaping our attitude towards money. The question is: as adults, how can we decode what we have subconsciously been taught and build a positive mindset towards managing our money?
Joining me today is Selina Flavius, finance coach and founder of Black Girl Finance - the digital platform providing a safe space for Black women to get comfortable talking about money.
Black graduates are paid 9% less than their white counterparts. In this episode, Selina shares the long-term impacts of the ethnic pay gap, and how we can tackle it.
We also take a look at what we can do to aid our financial security during the pandemic, and why Selina believes personal finance is the missing piece in self-development.
Selina’s book 'Black Girl Finance, Let’s Talk Money’ is out now. It’s a fantastic resource where she shares her best financial tips as well as her personal stories, goal-setting exercises and straight-talking advice.
