Purchase Stripped: An African Woman’s Guide to Building Wealth

Stripped is an evidence-based body of work that highlights the evolution, gaps, opportunities and possibilities of the African woman when it comes to the concept of building and sustaining wealth. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Cheers to the African Woman, you are now unstoppable.

This book is a confidence booster for those who feel they know little about savings and investment. You are in for a journey of self-discovery and hopefully, self- actualization.

Being part of the underrepresented cut from a marginalized society, the African woman has to overcome so much. Damned if she does and damned if she doesn’t.

Solape not only gives the principles but helps to understand the “why” of women building generational wealth.Highly recommend
