Main Points

• Money isn’t just math,  it’s a relationship. In this conversation with Certified Financial Planner and poet Uchechi Kalu, we unpack the real stories behind your bank account:
• Why your money mindset starts with culture & family, not spreadsheets.
• Uchechi’s 3-part framework: Technical · Psychological · Cultural; and how to use it like a wheel.
• The “Cost of Being You” exercise that reveals what enough truly means.
• How women of color can plan preventatively in an unstable economy.
• What happens when love meets money — and how to have that talk (without fighting).
