michaela coel: “life is the journey of getting rid of all the f*cks, one by one”

Double BAFTA award-winning creator/writer/actor Michaela Coel has come a long way since the first season of her hit show Chewing Gum. Diving into 2018 with an appearance on Charlie Brooker’s Black Mirror and the anticipated release of Netflix’s last year acquisition of her romantic musical “Been So Long”, things are going pretty great for Coel. In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, the irreverent performer shared her Brexit negotiation dream team (led by RuPaul, of course), coming into her own, and the personal growth she’s made performing for the past 10 years and having her own “fuck it” moment: “There are still a couple more I need to eradicate from my life. I don’t know if you will ever get rid of all the fucks. But life is the journey of getting rid of all the fucks, one by one.” Amen.
