The practice of sending money to family in other countries - known as remittances - is widespread. The World Bank estimates that over $650 billion was sent to low- and middle-income countries in 2023. When it comes to the flow of money from the U.S. to African nations, some people use the term ”black tax.” As costs are rising around the world, some people are saying it's becoming harder to afford to send money. And recently Kenyan influencer and comedian Elsa Majimbo reignited the long-running debate when she said on Instagram that she hated sending money abroad.Two BBC journalists, Itoro Bassey in the United States and Makuochi Okafor in Nigeria, talk about their personal experiences of sending or receiving money. And they discuss the broader economic and cultural factors that underpin the issue. We also hear a range of views from people who send money to relatives in Africa and some who receive it.

Welcome to Drafting the Past, a podcast all about the craft of writing history. I'm Kate Carpenter, and in each episode I talk with a historian about the practices, archival frustrations and joys, drafts and revisions and more that go into writing history. In this episode, I'm delighted to be joined by Dr. Andrew Kahrl. Andrew is a professor of history and African American Studies at the University of Virginia. His third book was published by the University of Chicago Press earlier this year, titled The Black Tax: 150 Years of Theft, Exploitation, and Dispossession in America. Andrew is especially interested in issues of housing and real estate, land use and ownership, and local tax systems. He is the author of two additional books, The Land Was Ours: African American Beaches from Jim Crow to the Sunbelt South, and Free the Beaches: The Story of Ned Coll and the Battle for America's Most Exclusive Shoreline. In addition to his books, Andrew regularly writes for public outlets like the New York Times, Washington Post, The Guardian, and more. In our conversation, we talked about how Andrew wrestled the research for his latest book into a compelling narrative argument, and why he firmly believes in the importance of history that speaks to present-day issues. He also shared some unexpected writing advice from his dad that I think you'll enjoy hearing about. Enjoy my conversation with Dr. Andrew Kahrl.

In this week's episode of the Money Magic Podcast Vangile shares a masterclass she did on understanding and breaking through money blocks. She discusses her work, including her books "Heart, Mind, and Money" and "What's Your Money Personality?" and her journal "Next Level, You, Woman, Money Journal." She explains how her journey towards financial freedom and emotional intelligence led her to deeper insights into how emotions and ancestral memories are stored in the body. Her work incorporates elements of Tantra yoga, which she studied in India, and focuses on understanding and healing emotional and ancestral traumas related to money. Throughout the class Vangile emphasizes the importance of understanding one's relationship with money and how it is influenced by family dynamics and inherited money stories. She explains how trauma can be passed down through generations and how it impacts financial behaviors. She shares examples of how her clients have benefited from her teachings, including paying off debts, increasing their savings, and making better financial decisions. She also highlights the significance of nervous system regulation and breaking free from family money stories to achieve financial freedom. This is another insightful episode. Tune in!

In this episode: we go to the US to look at how African Americans were overtaxed and dispossessed - a lesser known story of struggles against tax injustice, from the experience of George Floyd's great great grandfather to this day. Taxcast host Naomi Fowler speaks to historian and author Andrew W Kahrl of The Black Tax: 150 years of theft, exploitation, and dispossession in America: "Every stage of the research on this book was one revelation after another. These legalized forms of theft actually happened at far greater frequency than historians have ever really recognized. Historically, and still today, taxes are both a problem in the US, but they're also the solution." Plus: the OECD ignores a formal letter from UN human rights experts raising concerns about the detrimental and discriminatory impacts on the Global South of OECD and G20 tax policy: "There has been no response. One way to describe it would be to say it's disappointing. Another way to describe it would say it's shocking and downright unacceptable."

In this week's episode of the MoneyMagic Podcast, Vangile talks Ndumi Hadebe, coach, speaker, and author of “Handle Black Tax Like a Pro.” Ndumi coaches people on setting boundaries and highlights the importance of understanding the opportunity cost of not having boundaries. She emphasizes the need for people to share love and compassion while setting boundaries, to avoid disempowering themselves and shrinking their world. Ndumi discusses how her journey of understanding boundaries led her to write her book. She shares that a pivotal moment during COVID-19 made her realize the widespread issue of black tax and its connection to unspoken family expectations and lack of boundaries. The conversation delves into the cultural and generational difficulties black people face in discussing money. Ndumi explains that previous generations had little money to discuss, leading to a lack of financial transparency in families. This culture has persisted, making it difficult for current generations to talk about money openly. She also highlights how not being taught boundaries as children impacts one's ability to set boundaries as adults, affecting various aspects of life, including finances. She provides practical advice on how parents can better honor their children's boundaries and teach them about setting financial boundaries, emphasizing the importance of listening and validating their feelings . She also how individuals can start breaking the cycle of black tax by first having an honest conversation with themselves about their financial situation. Ndumi outlines a formula for having these difficult conversations with family members: combining truth and love while removing the need to be right. This is another insightful episode. Tune in.

It actually disempowers us. It disempowers the purpose that God has channeled through us." "I realized that we don't talk about black tax with our families, actually, which is such a disservice to the fibre of society and the fibre of black families." "Black tax is not really so much about money as it is about boundaries." "I think kids should question everything, including religion, including how spirituality works. Everything." “The more I didn't value myself, the more unvalued I became. So the less I respected my craft, the more people didn't respect my craft."

Just as you plan for every aspect of your life, so too must you plan for retirement. Children are a blessing, not a retirement plan or financial investment you should be expecting a return on. Feeling entitled to your children taking care of you in your old age is selfish. You chose to be a parent, be a parent. Allow your children to grow up without worrying about providing for you. Allow any financial gifts from your child be from love, not obligation and after being pressured.

Wood heard about a new book, THE BLACK TAX, that claims $600B was stolen from Black Americans by discriminatory taxation. Well, at least author Andrew W. Kahrl is seemingly pointing to a legitimate paper trail, and has provided a dollar amount to be used for the argument for reparations. Sadly, reparations, or a realistic path towards any financial resolution, remains as unpaved as it was in 2005, in 1995 and even earlier.
In the early 20th century, Baltimore City codified racial segregation in housing into law, prohibiting African Americans from moving onto blocks where white residents were the majority. As the city grew, the sewer commission methodically avoided building infrastructure in Black neighborhoods. That's one example given by historian Andrew Kahrl of how African American taxpayers have been denied the benefits of their dollars. Andrew Kahrl is a professor of history and African American studies at the University of Virginia. His new book is “The Black Tax: 150 Years of Theft, Exploitation, and Dispossession in America.” He'll be speaking about it on Tuesday, April 16th at the Enoch Pratt Free Central Library.

When it comes to diversity in today's workplaces, understandably much of the focus is on systemic challenges members of various marginalized groups have to deal with. But as my guest in this episode of my Leadership Biz Cafe podcast points out, that doesn't mean there aren't measures Black professionals can take at the individual level so they can succeed and thrive in today's corporate environment. Carice Anderson is a seasoned corporate leader and executive, having worked at numerous organizations including Deloitte, Korn Ferry, McKinsey & Company, Aon-Hewitt, and has worked with top companies like Google, Bloomberg, JP Morgan Chase and Bain & Company. I've invited Carice to join me on my podcast to talk about her book “Intelligence Isn't Enough: A Black Professional's Guide to Thriving in the Workplace” so that Black and non-Black leaders can learn from her insights about how Black employees can be empowered to succeed and thrive as members of their team. Over the course of my conversation with Carice, we spoke about: What is the Black Tax and how it impacts the productivity and perception of Black and non-Black employees. An examination of the “three major corporate muscle groups” Black professionals need to flex and develop to succeed in the corporate world. The mindset shift Black professionals need to make to have a healthier relationship with failure. How Black professionals tend to prioritize degrees over work relationships and why they need to change their focus to get ahead in the corporate world. The advantages of looking for sponsors and not just mentors to help elevate your career. Why we need to think of “difficult conversations” as “courageous conversations” and how to be more effective in having them. https://open.spotify.com/episode/3lvQR0oSdyqoknhVVmENwn?si=7515197b09c9430a Noteworthy links: Buy Carice's book “Intelligence Isn't Enough” on Amazon.* Learn more about Carice's work - cariceanderson.com *sponsored link that helps to support this podcast.

In this episode we'll revisit John Obi Mikel's appearance on Rio Ferdinand's podcast where he talks about family manipulation. From there we trace some of the challenges star African footballers face on a day-to-day basis and why that can make them vulnerable, but also capable of much more than your average footballer.Side note: Apologies for not releasing a podcast last Monday, I was in Tunis on a shoot for the Africa Cup of Nations.

The term black tax is used to describe the financial burden borne by many black people who have achieved a noticeable level of success and find themselves providing support to less secure family members. It's a dynamic that can play out between people in the same city, or between family living on different continents. It's a topic that divides opinion. Is it a way to give an opportunity to those still trying to find their feet? Or is it a burden on young people trying to make their way in the world
