About this episode

Otegha Uwagba is the author of the Sunday Times Bestselling Little Black Book: A Toolkit for Working Women published in 2017 and Whites: On Race and Other Falsehoods in 2020. She is also a speaker, brand consultant and founder of Women Who, a London-based multi-media platform aimed at creative women that operated from 2016 - 2020. She also hosts the culture and ideas podcast In Good Company. Her forthcoming book We Need To Talk About Money - part memoir, part cultural commentary - is published by 4th Estate on 8 July. I gained so much from this book and it will no doubt be a catalyst for an conversation about money, transparency, racism and class.
