Otegha Uwagba is a journalist, speaker and two-time Sunday Times bestseller, she’s the author of the hugely successful, Little Black Book: A Toolkit for Working Women and Whites: On Race and Other Falsehoods. In 2018 she appeared on the Forbes 30 Under 30 Media list. A talented raconteur, her recent memoir, We Need to Talk About Money, shares candid and intimate musings on money, life and systemic inequalities. Her philosophy? That in normalising woman-to-woman discourse around a long-taboo subject, revolutionising how we relate to our finances and exposing success stories, common pitfalls and the impact of privilege, class, race and sexism, we all may induce change.
