Untold with Nova Reid and Afua Hirsch

Acclaimed author, speaker, and truth seeker Nova Reid will be joined by journalist, author, documentary maker, and former barrister Afua Hirsch for a powerful conversation exploring identity, belonging, and the untold stories that shape who we are.  


Rooted in themes from Hidden Histories with Nova Reid, an Audible Original Podcast hosted and executive produced by Nova Reid, the evening will shine a light on extraordinary Black women whose legacies have been overlooked, distorted or erasedfrom revolutionary leaders, rule-breakers and pioneering educators to cultural icons from the Caribbean who helped shape British and world history. 


Born in Britain to Jamaican heritage, Nova’s exploration of empire, lineage and healing is both personal and political. In conversation with Afuaa leading voice on race, culture and the legacy of colonialismthey will delve into the silences of the past and what it means to reclaim them. 


Because, as Nova says, ‘if we don’t record and tell our historieswho will?’  


With moments of reflection, celebration, and surprise live performances, do not miss a thought-provoking, profoundly human conversation about the stories still waiting to be told.
