Handle Black Tax Like a Pro: Setting Boundaries, Improving Relationships and Achieving Freedom
Black tax is not so much about money as it is about boundaries. Explicit and unspoken expectations of financial assistance by parents, siblings and other relatives carry a mental and emotional price, affecting our relationships with our loved ones and with money itself. Helping others is commendable, but how do you do it in such a way that you avoid debt and stop the poverty cycle for future generations?
After outlining her own experiences with black tax and boundaries, self-leadership coach Ndumi Hadebe presents ten stories based on real situations – from family members’ expectations to fear of jeopardising relationships by saying ‘no’ and being judged for wanting a lifestyle different from those around you. Each story explores different themes and complexities on the black tax spectrum, followed by reflections on how each situation could have been handled in a way that is peaceful and non-threatening to your relationships with loved ones.
Handle Black Tax Like a Pro is an engaging and practical guide that will provide you with a roadmap to stronger relationships, better finances and overall well-being.

Thank you for telling an African story so well & with so much dignity. I finally understand something that I could never find the right words to describe or define it.

Each short story in the book was so relatable, loved the reflections part of each chapter. This book has taught me so much on boundaries and how they affect every area of your life. This is not just a book about addressing black tax but addressing the way we treat ourselves in relation to our finances. How emotions affect our decisions and how boundaries are absolutely important.
