MISFITS - MICHAELA COEL GEBUNDEN

From the brilliant mind of Michaela Coel  creator and star of I May Destroy You and Chewing Gum
and a Royal Society of Literature fellow  comes a passionate and inspired declaration against
fitting in. When invited to deliver the MacTaggart Lecture at the Edinburgh International
Television Festival  Michaela Coel touched a lot of people with her striking revelations about
race  class and gender  but the person most significantly impacted was Coel herself. Building
on her celebrated speech  Misfits immerses readers in her vision through powerful allegory and
deeply personal anecdotes-from her coming of age in London public housing to her discovery of
theater and her love for storytelling. And she tells of her reckoning with trauma and
metamorphosis into a champion for herself  inclusivity  and radical honesty. With inspiring
insight and wit  Coel lays bare her journey so far and invites us to reflect on our own. By
embracing our differences  she says  we can transform our lives. An artist to her core  Coel
holds up the path of the creative as an emblem of our need to regard one another with care and
respect-and transparency. Misfits is a triumphant call for honesty  empathy and inclusion.
Championing misfits everywhere  this timely  necessary book is a rousing coming-to-power
manifesto dedicated to anyone who has ever worried about fitting in.
