About this Event

For our fourth and final session, we will focus on the theme of our money, discussing We need to talk about money,by Otegha Uwagba, a candid and insightful exploration of how money shapes our lives, identities, and relationships.

Book synopsis:

“An extraordinarily candid personal account of the ups and downs wrought by money, We Need To Talk About Money is a vital exploration of stories and issues that will be familiar to most. This is a book about toxic workplaces and misogynist men, about getting payrises and getting evicted. About class and privilege and racism and beauty. About shame and pride, compulsion and fear.

In unpicking the shroud of secrecy surrounding money – who has it, how they got it, and how it shapes our lives – this boldly honest account of one woman’s journey upturns countless social conventions, and uncovers some startling truths about our complex relationships with money in the process.”
