In We Need To Talk About Money, a combined memoir and cultural commentary, Otegha Uwagba explores her own complicated relationship with money, and what these experiences might say about the world around us.
A deeply honest account of the ups and downs wrought by money, We Need To Talk About Money explores issues and dynamics that will be familiar to most of us. This is a book about toxic workplaces and sexist bosses. About getting payrises and not getting payrises. About class and privilege and racism and beauty standards. About shame and pride, compulsion and fear. In unpicking the shroud of secrecy surrounding money - together with our collective refusal to talk openly about it - this searing account uncovers some shocking truths about our complex relationships with money.
