This International Women’s Day theme is ‘Choose To Challenge’ and Full Fat wanted to praise those in our media and communications community who are doing just that. Members of our team have put together their most admired podcasters, authors, activists of the year. To those on the list, a huge thank you from team Full Fat for all your continued work!
Nova Reid, Author, Activist, Journalist and Podcaster
Nominated by Megan Morass
Nova Reid is amazing, if you’re not following her, go do it now. Her commentary and opinions have been enlightening, honest and so necessary during the past 24 months. Reid is a force to be reckoned with and regularly tackles subjects others shy away from. Her book ‘The Good Ally’ is set to be released in September 2021 and I have no doubt it will be phenomenal.
