You Made It. Now Everyone Wants a Piece | The Black Tax Explained

You prayed for success. You worked for success. But nobody warned you about the invoice that comes with it. 

This week, the Aunties unpack the real weight behind “making it”: from financial expectations to emotional labor and why success can sometimes feel like a group project you didn’t sign up for.

Hosts Ki Jay, and Jo dive into the concept of the Black tax and how it uniquely impacts a person's lifestyle, career growth, and generational responsibility.

From suzus and cultural reciprocity to modern-day entitlement, we’re asking the real question: where does obligation end and boundaries begin?
