![]() ![]() Misfits is a triumphant call for honesty, empathy, and inclusion. 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. By embracing our differences, she says, we can transform our lives. With inspiring insight and wit, Coel lays bare her journey so far and invites us to reflect on our own.
