Why can’t I be seen for who I am? What is the problem with my normal penis?’ Obioma Ugoala is an actor, activist, singer, writer, Arsenal supporter, and rugby player. A brother, son and loyal friend whose passions and influences range from Mozart to Mariah Carey, from ‘The Karate Kid’ to Sidney Poitier. He is also a man of mixed Nigerian and Irish heritage and throughout his life, whether in the classroom, the changing room, the rehearsal room or the bedroom, he has had to contend with people failing to address their own prejudices about what they conceive a Black man to be. In this ground-breaking and revealing account, Ugoala confronts these prejudices head on, challenging notions of race, sex, and masculinity that have over centuries become embedded in British society, poisoning the public discourse and blighting people’s lives – including, on occasion, his own.
