What happens when love, trust and business finances become intertwined?

In this episode of Conversations with Kalekye, I sit down with Prima Ihachi, founder of Prima Elora Beauty, for an honest conversation about love, marriage, trust, money and the difficult lessons that can come when personal relationships and business finances become deeply connected.

Prima shares how she and her then-husband approached their finances as a team — discussing their individual goals, their goals as a couple, what needed to be paid and what they wanted to build together.

But one financial decision would change everything.

When they took a loan to finance a project, Prima put her salon business up as security, trusting that the loan would be repaid as agreed once the project began generating income. When that did not happen, she ultimately lost the business she had spent years building and was forced to start again.

Her experience has fundamentally changed the way she thinks about love, trust, financial responsibility and protecting what you build.

In this conversation, Prima and Kalekye explore:

- Knowing who you're building a life with

- The difference between financial partnership and financial protection

- The risks of putting your business behind a relationship

- Why love should never replace financial clarity

- What women need to understand about their own finances and businesses

- Rebuilding after losing something you've worked years to create

- The lessons Prima now wants other women to learn before making major financial decisions in love

This isn't a conversation about refusing to trust the person you love. It's about understanding that you can love deeply, build together and still be wise about your money.

Because protecting what you've built isn't a lack of trust.

Sometimes, it's wisdom.

How much of your relationship with money is really about... MONEY?

In this episode of Conversations with Kalekye, I sit down with Rev. Lee, Founder of Fortress Assemblies, and Apostle Dennis, Overseer of Fortress Ministries, for an honest conversation about the intersection of money, relationships and healing.

Having both experienced marriages that ended, they share how their individual journeys shaped their perspectives on finances, provision, partnership and marriage—and how those lessons continue to influence the relationship they are building together today.

Together, we explore:

• How our upbringing shapes our relationship with money.
• The financial expectations we bring into relationships.
• Why emotional baggage often shows up in financial conversations.
• Building healthy relationships through trust, communication and shared priorities.

Whether you're single, dating or married, this conversation will challenge you to think differently about one of the biggest influences on our relationships.

Because sometimes the hardest conversations about money aren't really about money—they're about what we've carried into the relationship.

Has success come at the cost of love?

For many women, building a career, creating financial stability and learning to stand on their own wasn't about proving they didn't need a partner. It was about refusing to put life on hold while waiting for one.

In this episode of Conversations with Kalekye, I sit down with Nekesa Stephanie Wamalwa —a lawyer by training and Programme Lead, Next Gen at Trust Africa — for a deeply honest conversation about love, success and the emotional weight of doing life alone.

Nekesa shares her personal journey of watching money become the invisible 3rd party in her parents marriage, pursuing an education, building a meaningful career and creating the life she dreamed of, while also asking the difficult questions many successful women quietly wrestle with:

- Has my success made finding love harder?

- Do men feel intimidated by accomplished women?

- Can a woman be independent and still desire partnership?

- What does true partnership look like today?

This isn't a conversation about choosing career over love. It's about challenging the assumption that women who have built successful lives somehow no longer want to share them. If you've ever wondered whether success changes the way we experience relationships, this conversation is for you.

I'd love to hear from you in the comments: Do you think success makes dating more difficult, or does it simply reveal the right partner?
