Description
Black Tax: Book Three – The Dollar Relative explores the unique struggle of diaspora life and the complex financial expectations placed on those living abroad.
The story follows a successful woman living in a bustling foreign metropolis who finds herself relentlessly tethered to her extended family back home in Ghana. Because she earns in foreign currency (“dollars”), her family back home—measuring life in cedis—perceives her wealth as limitless. The visual contrast on the cover captures her standing split between two worlds: a glowing Western skyline on one side, and her family in Ghana on the other, clutching a phone and holding a list of endless monetary requests (from school fees and rent to church projects and medical bills).
It is a powerful story about guilt, boundary-setting, the weight of remittances, and the reality that “home is expensive everywhere”—highlighting how distance doesn’t lessen the reach of familial expectations.
