Grow Your Money

In this fireside chat, Tynah Matembe delves into the topic of building wealth as an immigrant, offering practical tips and guidance on investing and money management for people of colour. She is joined by two experts: Timi Merriman-Johnson, also known as ‘Mr MoneyJar,’ a qualified financial advisor, award-winning content creator, and founder of the UK-based financial education company Mr MoneyJar Limited; and Myron Jobson, Senior Personal Finance Analyst at Interactive Investor, where he leads initiatives to educate and support investors on key financial issues. Together, they discuss essential money management principles, investment strategies, risk planning, and other fundamentals of financial planning, particularly for immigrants navigating the UK financial system for the first time. They also examine common financial pitfalls and explore ways the government can foster greater financial inclusion. The conversation highlights how the financial services sector has historically underserved people of colour, who have often been excluded from opportunities to build generational wealth, leaving the system ill-equipped to meet their needs.
