Episode eight of Advice Around the World takes us to South Africa, where we talk to Gugu Sidaki, founder of financial planning firm Wealth Creed, about financial literacy, diversity, funeral plans, and more.

How many advice firms do you know where most clients are black women? Not many, we assume. In this week’s Advice Around the World, Gugu Sidaki tells us how she has bucked this trend, and how her experiences in life have shaped her as a financial planner.

Gugu shares her passion for financial literacy, and also about her series of children’s books on the topic. As an advocate of greater access to advice for women, she also passes on some key points on how to bring more women to the table in this profession.
