Michaela Coel just announced the release of her debut book,
Misfits: A Personal Manifesto, due for release in September. The BAFTA award-winning actor and writer will be sharing personal anecdotes from her life and her career, while looking back on her journey so far. Described by Penguin as a powerful manifesto on how speaking your truth and owning your differences can transform your life, the book is said to draw upon Coel s powerful lecture at the Edinburgh International Television Festival back in 2018. During the lecture, Coel explained that she was seeking out people who are willing to be transparent, and that comes with the risk of losing everything. But I don t mind because I d rather have transparency.
