In this episode of Femme & Fortune, Ayesha Ofori sits down with Lamide Elizabeth, former investment banker turned founder, investor and creator of Building Wealth Without Borders.
Lamide didn’t follow a traditional path.
She grew up in Hackney, got herself into private school on a scholarship, went on to LSE, and started her career in investment banking. But early on, she realised something most people miss.
A high salary doesn’t mean you’re building wealth.
In this conversation, she breaks down the decisions that changed everything. From questioning the corporate path, to building assets, investing in property, and using social media to create real income and opportunity.
They talk about:
Why salary alone won’t make you wealthy
The difference between income and assets
How she got into property in her early 20s
Why living at home can accelerate wealth building
The biggest mistake women make when it comes to investing
And what building wealth actually looks like behind the scenes
This isn’t a conversation about outcomes.
It’s about how it really happens.

The reason I want to address this, is because you both discuss living in the parental home as a no-brainer. However, the reality is this a privilege and unfortunately some people are forced out of their homes for reasons outside of their control.
My intention is to make this known, so in future you are able to have more care discussing topics pertaining to saving more by living under another person's roof.
please can I collaborate with you
