Reflecting on Black Tax.
According to the Urban Dictionary, it's “the extra money that black professionals are expected to give every month to support their less-fortunate family and extended families" and I would like to add that this takes place once you start working or earning a living (which could be in university too)
Black Tax in my terms is the duty that one has to serve to uplift one's family, either by taking care of the siblings or family, in other instances, it means getting your family a dignified shelter.
It was my sole motivator to succeed in everything from high school to university and even in the workplace. As good as it motivates, it also demotivates and comes with a heavy price...
Sadly being the one that can afford, means you can afford credit, DO NOT go down that rabbit hole!!!!!!!
