Money, corporate culture and freelancing with Elizabeth Uviebinené

Elizabeth Uviebinené is a brand strategist, columnist for the Financial Times & co-author of the award winning book Slay in Your Lane: The Black Girl Bible.

From a multi-title book deal, to accompanying podcasts and live events ‘Slay in Your Lane’ has become an empowering movement for Black British women.

Today on The Wallet, we take a deep dive into Elizabeth’s inspiring journey since the success of Slay in Your Lane.

We talk about her experiences navigating the corporate workplace as a young black woman, her relationship with money and the benefits she is discovering as a freelancer.

With self employment on the rise we take a look at what’s going on in the workplace and why many women, and in particular women in marginalised groups are opting to work for themselves.

Books:

Slay In Your Lane: The Black Girl Bible and The Journal
Loud Black Girls: 20 Black Women Writers Ask: What’s Next? is out now available in all good bookshops and online.
Keep an eye out for Elizabeth’s next book The Reset: Why Isn’t Work Working, What’s Next? Which will be out March 2021.
