Handle Black Tax Like a Pro a PRO – Setting Boundaries, Improving Relationships and Achieving Freedom asserts that black tax is not so much about money as it is about boundaries. Requests for money by parents, siblings and other relatives carry a mental and emotional price, affecting our relationships with our loved ones and with money itself. Helping others is commendable, but how do you do it in such a way that you avoid debt and stop the poverty cycle for future generations?

 Ndumi Hadebe presents ten stories based on real situations – from absent yet entitled fathers and siblings’ expectations to being overly indebted in the name black tax and people judged for wanting a lifestyle different to those around you. Each story explores different themes and complexities on the black tax spectrum, followed by reflections on how each situation could have been handled in a way that is peaceful and non-threatening to your relationships with loved ones – through the practice of boundaries.

Handle Black Tax Like a Pro is an engaging and practical guide that will provide you with a roadmap of how to effectively address this ‘elephant in the room’ with love and compassion; how to identify what your boundaries are and how to communicate them in a way that is nurturing to yourself and those on the receiving end of your black tax.   The book is available at Exclusives, Bargain Books and Take-a-Lot.
