We Need to Talk About Money by Otegha Uwagba

4.0

Really enjoyed this, part memoir, part social and cultural commentary. Always fascinating at times the words fizzed on the page and I could sense the author's passion. Her thoughts on certain cultural icons and moments are the vital Black feminist perspective that is often missing in our culture. I also really liked the more personal reflections on the challenges of being a Black woman in the workplace, especially in 'boys club' environments. Her essay about money is also a timely polemic on the impact of the different socialisation that women often receive around money, self worth and especially in relation to negotiating around payment for work.

With thanks to netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
