“RICH BLACK, POOR BLACK” is a financial literacy book, in which Lawal tells a story on how to attain and sustain financial stability and create general wealth through the pillars of Mental Health, Physical Health, Social Health, and Spiritual Health as a guide for Generation Z, according to a press release.
Lawal’s debut novel covers the keys to becoming financially literate by covering topics such as Creating Wealth, with Intellectual Health and Social Health as means to acquiring the ability to create and multiply your wealth.
