New Age. Self-Improvement. Nonfiction. HTML:

From the brilliant mind of Michaela Coel, creator and star of I May Destroy You and Chewing Gum, 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 anecdotesâ??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 respectâ??and transparency.
Misfits is a triumphant call for honesty, empathy and inclusion. Championing "misfits" everywhere, this timely, necessary audiobook is a rousing coming-to-power manifesto dedicated to anyone who has ever worried about fitting in.
A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt and Company… (altro)

This was a quick read, and exactly what it said on the tin -- Michaela Coel's speech about being a misfit breaking into the television industry, with a little bit of reflection before and after. A bunch of goodreads reviewers were mad about this? But I feel like that is on them? Anyway, I really enjoyed this, and I hope in several years Coel gifts us with a memoir as well, because it is clear she is a gifted storyteller both in and outside the visual medium. I think her unique perspective could teach a lot of things to a lot of people. ( )

Die britische Drehbuchautorin, Schauspielerin und Regisseurin Michaela Coel rechnet in ihrem Manifest mit der Gesellschaft aber vor allem auch mit der Industrie, in der sie arbeitet, ab. Sie wurde eingeladen, eine der renommierten MacTaggart Lectures, die im Rahmen des Edinburgh TV Festivals stattfinden, zu halten, die sie überarbeitet und ergänzt hat und unter dem Titel „Misfits“ veröffentlichte. Es ist die Geschichte einer Tochter ghanaischer Einwanderer, die immer nur als Außenseiterin, als nicht passend wahrgenommen wird, bis sie den Spieß umdreht und genau das zu ihrem Markenzeichen und zur Kampfansage macht.

Es ist eine frische und unverblümte Stimme, die keine Hemmungen hat, ihre Schwächen und Sorgen offenzulegen, die frei darüber spricht, wie sie an sich und ihren Fähigkeiten zweifelt. Ihre Kindheit war von Geldsorgen geprägt, aber das war es, was ihr den ersten Kontakt zum Theater ermöglichte, woraus später der Weg in die Schauspielschule führte. Die Welt des Theaters ist vieles, aber nicht divers, weshalb sie mit ihrer Hautfarbe schnell heraussticht und wo sie auch offenen Rassismus erlebt – der jedoch immer entschuldigend zurückgenommen wird. Mit ihrer ersten Comedy Produktion kommt sie jedoch in eine andere Situation und kann das hinterfragen, was in der Branche von Neueinsteigern eigentlich unwidersprochen hingenommen wird. Sie will aber nicht einfach hinnehmen, sondern stellt unbequeme Fragen und legt zweifelhafte Strukturen offen.

Der Untertitel „Ein Manifest“ trifft wirklich sehr gut, was den Text kennzeichnet. Es ist ein Aufruf zu sich und dem, was man repräsentiert und mitbringt zu stehen, aber auch eine Aufforderung nach mehr Diversität, mehr Perspektiven und mehr Stimmen, die andere Sichtweisen liefern und jedermanns Horizont erweitern können.

Misfits. Een persoonlijk manifest. Door: Michaela Coel.

Sinds ik I may destroy you zag ben ik fan van Coel. Dat was een serie als geen ander. Het was een morsige mokerslag, hartverscheurend en hartverwarmend, rommelig en realistisch. Een kijkervaring die je vol vragen, twijfels, onzekerheden en nieuwe ideeën achterlaat. Dat is Coel voor mij: iemand die helemaal zichzelf is en alle aspecten van haar persoonlijkheid aan bod durft laten komen. Ze is intiem en alles omvattend, moedig en grappig.

In dit manifest doet ze een warme oproep aan mensen om zichzelf te zijn en te blijven, niet te proberen passen in de mal die ons langs alle kanten wordt opgedrongen. Ze vraagt de wereld ook om begrip en empathie te hebben voor die mensen die anders zijn, de misfits. Coel wil ook hen kansen geven, hun verhalen horen, hen onondebroken aan het woord laten.

Ik hou van mensen die anders zijn, van misfits, opwijkenden, queer mensen. En ik hou van Michaela Coel. Dikke merci aan Uitgeverij De Geus om dit belangrijke manifest voor ons te vertalen. Moge er nog vele verhalen van Coel en mensen zoals zij, of net helemaal anders, volgen. ( )
