@mimikeene3 of #SexEducation featured in the INNOVATE Issue

22-year-old Mimi Keene has already filled out quite the CV. First hitting the scene with her Royal Court Theatre debut in 2010 at the age of 12, Keene went on to grab stints across British television, most notably on soap stalwart #EastEnders, before making her @Netflix debut in the hit teen show @sexeducationSurprisingly though, her start in acting was somewhat of an accident. “I’m not from an acting family. I had never seen acting professionally as a possibility, as it didn’t seem accessible. Funnily enough it was my failure to secure a place at the local grammar school at 11 that changed everything. My teacher at primary school told my mum that I was on the gifted register for singing and dancing, which led to me ending up in a stage school.” Though devastated at the time, believing it to be a “terrible failing,” it was in hindsight a complete life shift. “Without this redirection I think my life would have been very different.”
