1. Maybe I Don't Belong Here
A Memoir
A candid memoir that traces the author’s journey from a Jamaican family in Birmingham through training as an actor and growing success on stage and screen, while grappling with questions of identity, race, masculinity and belonging. He recounts a harrowing mental-health crisis, hospital stays and the stigma that followed, and describes how therapy, medication, family support and a determination to keep working helped him rebuild his life and career. Honest, reflective and often wry, the book blends personal history, cultural observation and an account of recovery to explore what it means to belong — or not — in modern Britain.
