  • This work is how I make a living so I do not provide advice or content for free – with this in mind, if you would like me to contribute to your publication or book please get in touch here

  • I appreciate you wanting to share my content as this helps to reach a wider audience and engage more people in this work. With that in mind, it is important for you to credit me when reposting/re-sharing my content. Please tag in the photo @novareidoffical in the first line of your caption. Please do not edit or change my original caption. Do not share if you are a business account that will benefit commercially from sharing my content. This includes by either advertising your own events or services, or if you are positioning it in a way that suggests alignment with your brand.

  • Happy for you to tag me in posts to raise awareness of, or recommend my work, but please can I ask that you don’t tag me in racist posts.

  • I would love to be able to help and offer support to all the projects and requests that come through but unfortunately I do not have capacity for this.

  • I wish there were frontline services in the UK to better support those of us facing racial discrimination, including abuse online – we need more counsellors, support workers, legal aid teams and safety houses. However, as an individual, I cannot take on case work – I do not have the resources or the means to.

    Glitch is a not-for-profit organisation working towards ending online abuse – please visit their website https://fixtheglitch.org/ for further resources and signposts to other organisations and partners who may be better placed to help.

    Where relevant, report incidents to the police.

Consultancy FAQs:

  • Due to the nature of anti-racism work and to ensure I am able to provide the best service I only take on an exclusive number of bespoke clients each year, who are ready to roll up their sleeves to do the work. I am now fully booked for 2022 and unable to take on any new clients.

    If you are keen to get started on your anti-racism journey, I would encourage you to join my self-paced anti-racism course available for individuals and key staff who are motivated to do this work and get started immediately. The course serves as a great precursor to working together and will confidently equip you with how to make some powerful changes in your personal and professional lives.

  • I do not offer stand alone anti-racism workshops. I am driven to ensure that my services are impactful and genuinely help resolve organisational and cultural problems which one-off workshops on anti-racism cannot and do not. For that reason I have based my services on what I know to be most effective.

    A talk might be a better fit.

  • I work with a wide range of companies and organisations from small businesses, human right charities, to global media and financial institutions. All are headed up by courageous leaders with a common trait of a strong desire for global change, social responsibility and a desire to do better.

  • The Becoming Anti-Racist with Nova Reid course is NOT for complete beginners. It IS for people who feel they don't know enough but have some basic knowledge of anti-racism, but often feel frightened of saying the wrong thing and don’t really know where to start. It is also for those who have experience and want to take a deeper dive from a British lens. This course is also for those who already recognise that racism exists beyond an overt act of hate and want to do something about it. If it is for people that don’t feel confident in tackling and recognising everyday racism. It is also for people who often experience burnout in their activism, feel ineffective in challenging racism (especially at home or in the workplace) and / or don't know how to make consistent, sustainable tangible change. This is suitable for those interested in learning about anti-racism from a British lens, better understanding the nuances of anti-blackness and want a trauma-informed approach. It is for those who feel courageous enough to start introspection, unlearning, relearning and are ready to roll up their sleeves and keen to be part of change. Click here to learn more.
