Michaela Coel: 'I remember feeling like people found me disturbed'

The creator and star of award-winning ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ drama I May Destroy You describes how people thought she was 'crazy' and 'unhinged' turning down a million-dollar deal with Netflix.

Michaela Coel spoke to Emma Barnett on Woman's Hour about her new book Misfits: A Personal Manifesto, which follows on from her MacTaggart lecture at 2018's Edinburgh Festival exploring themes of money, exploitation and empathy in the TV industry.

In the full interview on ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Sounds she discusses giving that lecture, getting closure on her own sexual assault, having social media boundaries, putting period sex on screen and much more.
