The Mr MoneyJar Show

Of course — here’s the revised version with the PocketSmith sponsor section moved to the very end.
EPISODE SUMMARY
What does it really take to build financial independence and Black wealth in the UK?
In this episode of The Mr MoneyJar Show, I sit down with tech sales account manager and content creator Tatiana (Tatiana Mummy) to unpack her incredible journey from working a paper round at age 14 to earning £165k and building a net worth of £385k.
Tatiana shares how she plans to save £100,000 in 2026, why she prioritises maxing out her Stocks & Shares ISA, and what led her to spend £70k on an 18-month career sabbatical.
We also dive into negotiating corporate salaries, navigating classism in the UK job market, the differences between UK and US earning opportunities, and why building Black wealth should ultimately be about freedom — not just looking wealthy.

EPISODE SUMMARY
Few conversations have left me feeling as seen as this one with Adwoa and Solomon, the creative force behind Adeite Atelier.
As artists and educators, they share how European colonialism systematically replaced West African spiritual systems with Abrahamic religions. We explore the psychological impact of white religious iconography, compare binary concepts of heaven and hell to cyclical ancestral beliefs, and discuss what it takes to navigate a joint artistic business as a couple.

Together, we unpack their vision for decolonising faith, celebrating Black love, and reclaiming our cultural identity through art.
