In this episode of the Financially Incorrect podcast, host Barrack Bukusi is joined by Kristin Wilson, a Nigerian angel investor from Innovate Africa Fund. Kristin shares her experiences as a West African woman, highlighting the importance of strategic thinking and the often-overlooked value of planning ahead in African culture. She contrasts fiscal habits between West and East Africa, discusses her investments in transparency-focused ventures, and reflects on the lessons from political protests.    She delves into her own financial journey, from building an emergency fund to managing investments in land, and how she has maintained her financial independence throughout her career. The conversation takes a personal turn when Kristin discusses her late father’s complex legacy and how it shaped her views on financial management and family responsibilities.  Tune in for an inspiring conversation packed with valuable insights on money, life, and identity in Africa!
