Amy & Viv had the pleasure of speaking with anti-racist activist, Ted Speaker and author of 'The Good Ally', Nova Reid. We cover A LOT. A trigger warning to our Black and people of colour friends, it's a heavy, heavy episode, BUT we also talk about joy, and we loved hearing about Nova and who she is outside of her job function (spoiler, she used to be a pro-singer - and hates karaoke!) We learnt so much, what an honour to have her on. Please follow her work and buy her book, it's an invaluable piece of anti-racism work that will stand the test of the time.
