Weruche Opia On “I May Destroy You”

Black Narratives And Sticking To Your Guns

Weruche Opia’s life has undergone such a drastic transformation during lockdown, that she has had to dedicate a specific area of her London home to Zoom press interviews.

Though her first TV role on The Bill was a decade ago – with subsequent castings in Top Boy and Jack Whitehall’s Bad Education – none of it prepared her for the way that I May Destroy You has suddenly becaame the dominance of the well Known culture. Michaela Coel’s groundbreaking consent drama has been hailed by critics as ‘the best drama of the year’, ‘riveting’ and ‘essential viewing’. And the enormously positive reception hasn’t just happened on this side of the Atlantic – Seth Rogen is a fan too (‘I was like “Oh My God!”‘, exclaims Opia).

‘I’m glad the show hasn’t been cheated by [the pandemic] and is getting recognition,’ Opia tells ELLE over Zoom. ‘I think it also has worked in our favour. With the pandemic, and the unfolding of the Black Lives Matter movement after George Floyd’s death, it means everyone’s more attentive, open and aware. A show like this, at this time… it’s worked out to be wildly beneficial for the series.’

‘I didn’t understand I was Black,’ Opia explains. ‘I didn’t quite understand the concept of Blackness because I grew up in Nigeria where the majority of people are Black. When I moved to London, I realised people tended to stay in their own communities which was interesting, I didn’t quite comprehend it. But at that age I quickly got into it, I learned all the music and slang,’ she laughs. “I’m just trying to create my own path” she admitted.

Citing role models from the UK, US and Nigeria (Naomie Harris, Sophie Okonedo, Viola Davis and Genevieve Nnaji), Opia says with a smile: ‘I’m just trying to make my own path in the world with inspiration from all over.’

With a springboard like I May Destroy You, integrity and evident drive, we don’t doubt she will.
