We don't like getting real about money, do we? We think maths, we think spreadsheets, we think boring. But Selina Flavius, founder of Black Girl Finance, wants to show that there can be another, better way. A way to start making our hard-earned money work even harder for us.

Selina Flavius created Black Girl Finance to address the unique difficulties Black women face due to the gender and ethnicity pay gaps. Since we literally can't afford to wait for change, we need to start changing things up for ourselves. From challenging money mindsets to teaching key skills, such as how to set up an emergency fund and where to start with budgeting, investing and saving, Black Girl Finance provides a safe space for a community of unapologetic, ambitious, money-minded women to get real about their finances.

Kick-start your financial journey with Black Girl Finance - the first financial guide of its kind. Packed with tips, tricks and tools, as well as statistics, personal stories, goal-setting exercises and straight-talking advice, this will be your go-to helping hand when it comes to making your financial goals a reality.

Includes examples specific to the author’s native UK, but still a worthy read!!!

When reading please acknowledge my grammar is not the best as I am dyslexic.

Black girl finance forced me to figure out my income and expenses, wants, needs and savings. And this I realised I spend wayyyyyyy to much on take out food. But also made me realise that if I budget correctly I could save sooo much money, and still enjoy life.

Working out my net worth, was a wake up call, although I was abit upset.

I’m excited to see my improvement when I reread this book next year.

Really great beginner book. Introduced me to different and more efficient ways to handle my money whilst being completely transparent and reassuring.

As far as financial books go, this one is a real confidence booster! If you are someone that needs more confidence in financial decision-making, clearer direction as to enhancing your finances; investing; knowing how to plan ahead for the future, then this is it. Flavius describes this book as one that will ‘Increase financial peace of mind and improve financial management skills.’ I loved the fact that Flavius shares her personal journey from being petrified of discussing finances, to being a financial advisor. The icing on the cake was having the worksheets/PDFs to complete while going through this book. It is a very practical a book and easy to follow too.

I listened to the audio version of this book but will be adding a physical copy to my bookshelf for regular reference.

If you are already financially literate and looking for something new to learn this is NOT the book for you. Everything in this book I already knew so I wasn’t the target audience. However I can appreciate this book for beginners of personal finance, hence 3 stars.
