Welcome to Season 2, Episode 1 of the Faith & Finance Podcast by the Pentecostal Community Bank.

Hosted by Brenda Emmanus OBE, this episode features Hannah Awonuga - multi-award-winning inclusion specialist, corporate leader, and founder of Inclusive Foundations.

“I was homeless at 15… my life shouldn’t look like this.”

In this powerful conversation, Hannah shares her journey from early hardship to building a successful corporate career and earning six figures. But beyond the numbers, this episode explores identity, purpose, faith, and what it truly means to build wealth that lasts.

Hannah speaks openly about navigating the corporate world as a Black woman, the importance of personal brand and networks, and how faith has shaped her decisions — even in seasons of uncertainty, loss, and transition.

This is a deeply honest, faith-rooted conversation about resilience, stewardship, and redefining success beyond material wealth.
