Tell me something interesting about this #NairaLife. I found her thinking about supporting her family interesting. As the eldest and the most upwardly-mobile, the weight of her family's financial responsibilities rest on her. But she's very intentional about making sure it doesn't disrupt her life and plans. At the moment, her mum is on a monthly allowance and she treats her sibling's needs on a need-by-need basis. She plans on setting up a business for her mum by the end of the year and withdrawing the monthly support when the business picks up. The way she thinks about it, she'd rather equip them with the means to make money while she stays in the background for the special projects. So she's accepted the black tax. Something like that. But her approach is to ensure that she's not in a paying-black-tax loop forever. It looks like she applied that same intentionality to her work. Her income just kept growing and growing. Two things shone through during our 2-hour conversation — her intentionality and grit. It's a formidable combo. The next stop for her is to deal with her anxiety about money, and you’ll see she's already working on that too. LMAO. It's more like a feel-good, aspirational story.
