Official Bio

Nova Reid is a visionary and agent of change who uses the power of storytelling to help solve social issues.

Often described as a force to be reckoned with, Nova’s work sits at the intersection of storytelling, mental health, and social justice. She curates courageous and heart-centered conversations and experiences that encourage radical honesty and collective healing. Her work interrogates the systems that keep us stagnant, grounded in the belief that true transformation starts from the inside and requires us to move beyond comfortable silence and into the messy, essential practice of repair.

Nova has earned multiple accolades for over a decade of work in racial justice, guiding international organisations and individuals through the internal work required for systemic change and advised on prominent human rights inquiries. Her experience working as a former professional actress makes her an excellent orator and as a result she regularly commands world-class stages, from the National Theatre to the House of Commons.

Her expansive canon of work is a testament to the artist’s role in social evolution. From the award-winning inception of Nu Bride to the global impact of her TED talk and her bestselling debut book The Good Ally , Nova’s creative lens bridges the gap between our difficult histories and our collective potential. Whether she is writing for major publications like The Guardian, Vogue, and Elle, or producing projects that tell untold stories, such as Hidden Histories with Nova Reid, Nova cares deeply about healing and her voice is a consistent force for humanity.
