Mapalo and I have collaborated over the years. She first wrote for my pages in City Press and we then started a podcast together to discuss the stories were were working on. Through the years we have shared the stage at events and we are currently running a money bootcamp podcast together. Mapalo has an intrinsic understanding around people and their finances. She has a positive energy and a wonderful way of communicating around money, always bringing in the emotional aspects. She is also an experienced money coach. Whether you are looking for a money coach or a speaker - Mapalo should be at the top of your list.

Working with Woman and Finance and Mapalo Makhu has been a massive privilege and I wholeheartedly endorse Mapalo’s services especially given the financial challenges we all face today. What sets Mapalo apart is her knack for making complex financial concepts relatable and understandable, engaging participants in a way that fosters genuine understanding.

The Money Bootcamp was an amazing experience for me as it gave me so much insight on how to manage my finances and also plan for the future. My outlook on money has changed so much that I have already setup my 'money date'. Being in the presence of strong, confident and money conscious women (not forgetting how gorgeous everyone looked) who are facing the same issues as I am was more than inspiring. So thank you for this great initiative to help other women like us who obviously needed that Bootcamp in order to get us well on our way to have a healthy relationship with our finances.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who would like to reevaluate their money issues. This book is easy to read and understand. Because I've always been watching Mapalo Makhu on YouTube, I read this book in her voice and it felt like she was talking to me. If you ever want to learn how to budget, save, invest, tackle black tax... Then this book is for you
