We are delighted to welcome Natalie Reeves Billing DL FRSA as a Keynote Speaker at the Global Women Leadership Summit 2026! 🌍✨

Natalie Reeves Billing DL FRSA is a Deputy Lieutenant of Merseyside, an award-winning author, literacy innovator, and creative community leader. Born in Toxteth and now based on the Wirral, Natalie is widely recognised for her vibrant storytelling, commitment to literacy, and her ability to connect communities through creativity.

With a background in the music industry as a professional performer and songwriter, Natalie naturally transitioned into storytelling, bringing a lyrical flair and distinctive dark humour to her writing. She creates imaginative, often spooky stories for children, while also writing poetry, contemporary fiction, and flash fiction for adult audiences. Her published works include multiple anthologies and collaborations with fellow poets, musicians, and scriptwriters.

Natalie is the founder of Builder Book, an initiative that empowers communities—especially young families, women, and underrepresented groups—to tell their own stories through words and illustrations. Through her Bubs Literacy Project, she works to improve literacy and creative engagement in vulnerable communities, a mission supported by the Lloyds Bank Social Entrepreneurs Programme.

Her titles include My Mummy is a Monster (part of the Monstrous Me series) and Carry Love. She is a friend of the Arvon Foundation, a student of the Golden Egg Academy, and an active participant in Writing on the Wall’s creative writing community.

As a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (FRSA) and a Governor of Everton Free School, Natalie continues to champion education, innovation, and accessibility in the arts. She also hosts and contributes to radio programming, regularly engaging audiences in conversations around storytelling, creativity, and community.

Natalie describes herself as a corporate and community connector—someone who builds meaningful networks and rallies people behind shared goals. Her work spans the worlds of literature, education, charity, and STEAM outreach, with a focus on encouraging others to find joy in creativity and to make their voices heard.
