The Problem with my Normal Penis is a frank examination of Obioma's life as a Black man growing up in London and the honest retelling of how he got to be here. The child of an interracial relationship, it is an unfiltered interrogation of how race and sex have narrowed and defined his identity but most importantly it speaks to the urgency of this conversation, and the common mistakes we make in raising all our children, not just our young Black boys, offering a blueprint for how we can move forward.

A powerful memoir and manifesto for readers of Candice Brathwaite's I am Not Your Baby Mother, Akala's Natives and Reni Eddo-Lodge's Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People about Race, Ugoala offers readers an insight into why the topic of race and gender in Britain are so connected. Challenging some of our most accepted truths, this is an urgent piece of writing that will shock, inspire and motivate.

Obioma Ugoala is an actor, writer and workshop facilitator in schools and institutions focusing on how organisations can move from token diversity to active anti-racist institutions. Since graduating from Drama Centre London he has performed extensively with The Royal Shakespeare Company, touring with them to China and New York. Most recently he has been in London's West End, starring in the Original London Companies of Frozen: The Musical as Kristoff, Hamilton as George Washington, and Motown: The Musical as Smokey Robinson, as well as spearheading a campaign of outreach to BAME students in the Greater London area. His recent viral video for PoliticsJOE, How to Become a True Ally on being a better ally in the anti-racist struggle has had more than 2 million views.
