In December 2013, Eddo-Lodge appeared on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour to discuss the year in feminism alongside activist Caroline Criado Perez. During a discussion on intersectionality, Criado Perez seemed to imply that Eddo-Lodge was involved in online abuse of other feminists. Although Criado Perez apologised for the way her comments could have been interpreted, former Conservative MP Louise Mensch accused Eddo-Lodge of "bullying". Eddo-Lodge has also appeared on BBC Radio 3’s Night Waves, discussing feminist issues. In April 2014, she was a judge in the BBC Woman's Hour Power List 2014. In July 2020, Lodge partnered with Emma Watson and the WOW Foundation to spearhead a project reimagining the London Underground Map, renaming the 270 stops to spotlight women and non-binary people who have shaped the city's history. The initiative will consult writers, museums, and librarians and is set to be published by Haymarket Books on International Women's Day 2022.
In 2017, Eddo-Lodge completed her debut book, Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race; released by Bloomsbury Publishing, the polemic was made available in bookshops and online in June 2017. Initial reviews were positive, with 2015 Booker Prize-winner Marlon James writing that it was "essential" and "begging to be written". Others such as Trevor Phillips in The Sunday Times took issue with the book, with Phillips claiming that it probed "delicately knotted issues with all the subtlety of a blunderbuss". The book won the Jhalak Prize in March 2018.
Eddo-Lodge teamed up with podcast producer Renay Richardson to create About Race with Reni Eddo-Lodge, which premiered in March 2018 and has been named one of the best podcasts of 2018 by British GQ and Wired. Seen as a complement to the book, the podcast examined Britain's modern relationship with race.
In January 2018, Eddo-Lodge was chosen as one of seven prominent British women to be photographed for British Vogue, to mark the centenary of British women winning the right to vote. In the 2020 and 2021 editions of the Powerlist, Eddo-Lodge was listed in the Top 100 of the most influential people in the UK of African/African-Caribbean descent.
In June 2020, Eddo-Lodge's book Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race rose 155 places in the official Bookseller chart. The upsurge in sales took place in the wake of the murder of George Floyd and subsequent global Black Lives Matter protests. This meant that she became the first black British woman to top the non-fiction book-selling charts at number 1; the fiction chart was simultaneously topped by the novelist Bernardine Evaristo. Eddo-Lodge stated that she was "dismayed by ... the tragic circumstances in which this achievement came about". On 16 June 2020, Eddo-Lodge became the first black British woman to be No. 1 overall in the British book charts.
