There’s no denying that conversations about money and career have evolved. For Black women especially, professional and financial growth is deeply personal. It’s not just about climbing the corporate ladder or stashing six figures in a savings account. It’s about freedom, choice, sustainability and confidence. 21Ninety’s new series Working Well is all about exploring those themes.
We know our readers are ambitious. They’re launching side hustles, pivoting into new careers, and trying to save without sacrificing their joy. Working Well is about helping you do exactly that. The goal is to work in a way that’s not just productive but also intentional and fulfilling. In this series, we’re tackling money and career from several different angles. You’ll hear from high earning Black women who share what it really took to get there and what they’d never do again. We’ll explore the emotional side of budgeting and how healing your relationship with money might matter more than the math. You’ll learn how to say “no” at work without guilt and so much more.
We’re also not afraid to get creative. What do your zodiac sign and your career path have in common? Turns out, a lot more than you’d think. And if you’re wondering which jobs offer the best work-life balance or which apps actually help you manage your money, we’ve got answers.
Like every 21Ninety franchise, the heart of Working Well is storytelling. We’re not here to hand you a one-size-fits-all blueprint. Instead, we’re offering ideas, insights, and voices that make you feel more equipped to build a life and career that works for you. Working Well isn’t just about doing more. It’s about doing better, and feeling better while you’re at it. Let’s get to work.
