A powerful manifesto on how speaking your truth and owning your differences can transform your life.

In this sensational agenda-setting début, Michaela Coel, BAFTA-winning actor and writer of breakout series I May Destroy You and Chewing Gum, makes a compelling case for radical honesty.

Drawing on her unflinching Edinburgh Festival MacTaggart lecture, Misfits recounts deeply personal anecdotes from Coel’s life and work to argue for greater transparency. With insight and wit, it lays bare her journey to reclaiming her creativity and power, inviting readers to reflect on theirs.

Advocating for ‘misfits’ everywhere, this timely, necessary book is a rousing and bold case against fitting in.

Read it only if you can't go through an hour long video.

This book is essentially the transcription of a lecture Coel gave a couple of years ago you can find for free online:

The only extras are a little introduction and a little afterword. Nice, but not essential. Not sure why this books physically exist to be honest, but, well, whatever.
