Indigenous Woman, Hear Me Roar!

Hi Scott,

I am a young professional Aboriginal woman from Cape York. In the past I made some foolish investments, but a few years ago I picked up your book. I loved it, though I struggled to get my hubby to read it. So I played him your audio-book in the car. He was so excited, given how easy it is to follow. 

Long story short — we are now on our way to financial freedom! We no longer have credit cards or a car loan, we have refinanced our mortgage, and our renters are paying our mortgage off for us. We also have a joint account and have started our little guy on the jam jars. I would love you to do a ‘Barefoot Walkabout Tour’ once COVID is out of the way.

Hi Tania,

This makes me so happy. Well done!

We have a shameful history of finance companies ripping off Indigenous communities (especially when it comes to funeral insurance). One not-for-profit group that is making a huge difference in this area is MoneyMob Talkabout, who employ Aboriginal elders to teach financial education in remote communities.
