Youth Spotlight: Taliyah Haywood — A Young Artist with a Powerful Voice

Youth Spotlight: Taliyah Haywood — A Young Artist with a Powerful Voice


In this month’s special issue of Affluence: Financial Fitness for Women, themed Black Art as Investment, we’re proud to shine our Youth Artist Spotlight on an extraordinary young talent: Taliyah Haywood. At just 9 years old, Taliyah is already proving that art is not just a creative outlet—it’s a legacy.

Born on October 1, 2015, in Tampa, Florida, Taliyah radiates pure creative energy. Her journey into the world of art began at the age of two, with a simple act of finger painting at a birthday party. Since that moment, her passion has only grown—transforming from playful exploration into a powerful medium for self-expression and storytelling.

Taliyah’s artwork is more than paint on canvas—it’s a reflection of her heart, her spirit, and her belief in the power of beauty. Whether she’s illustrating her own books, drawing love letters for her family, or decorating her parents’ offices with colorful masterpieces, her creations are infused with joy, love, and a refreshing sense of wonder.



This month, as we explore the concept of art as an investment, Taliyah reminds us that some of the greatest investments we can make are in the gifts of our children. Investing in their creativity, encouraging their curiosity, and supporting their dreams today lays the foundation for the artists, entrepreneurs, and visionaries of tomorrow.

But Taliyah isn’t just an artist—she’s a force. She sings, dances, plays sports, cooks, and carries herself with the kind of strength and boldness that mirrors the brightest Black women creators we feature throughout this issue. Her versatility is inspiring, and her voice—through color, line, and imagination—is loud and clear.




At Affluence, we believe in nurturing the next generation of storytellers, and Taliyah Haywood is a shining example of what happens when talent, love, and encouragement come together. Her work is already leaving a mark—and we can’t wait to see how far she’ll go.

To Taliyah: We see you. We celebrate you. And we’re cheering for you, always.

Don’t miss her exclusive feature in this month’s issue of Affluence: Financial Fitness for Women.

Because the future of Black art—and Black wealth—starts with young visionaries like her.

Rewiring Your Mind for Financial Wellness: How Hypnotherapy Can Transform Your Relationship with Money

Rewiring Your Mind for Financial Wellness: How Hypnotherapy Can Transform Your Relationship with Money By Anna Kato, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist Have you ever felt a knot in your stomach when checking your bank account? Or maybe you’ve experienced overwhelming anxiety when thinking about bills or future expenses. Financial stress is a common struggle, but what if there was a way to change how you feel about money — not by altering your income overnight, but by shifting your mindset? Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic practice that uses guided relaxation and focused attention to reach a state of heightened awareness — commonly referred to as a trance. In this state, your mind becomes more receptive to positive suggestions and new perspectives. It’s not about losing control or being manipulated; instead, it’s about gaining greater control over your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. Just as daydreaming can transport you into a scene of imagined joy or comfort, hypnotherapy allows you to...

From Beauty to Balance Sheet: A Letter from the Publisher, Dr. Anita R. Johnson

From Beauty to Balance Sheet: A Letter from the Publisher, Dr. Anita R. Johnson There’s something deeply affirming about seeing your wealth reflected not just in your bank account, but in the beauty that surrounds you. In this month’s powerful issue of Affluence: Financial Fitness for Women, our publisher, Dr. Anita R. Johnson, opens with a moving letter that redefines what it means to be financially empowered—and artistically inspired. Dr. Johnson shares a personal memory: the first time she purchased a piece of art. Like many of us, she did it with a mix of hesitation and hope—unsure of the financial value but drawn in by something more soulful.
