Josie Totah

Josie Totah Instagram – @josietotah lit up @appletv’s ‘The Buccaneers’ as Mabel Elmsworth, a sharp-witted outsider navigating love and tradition in a reimagined 1870s England. In Season 2, Mabel’s romance continues to bring queer joy to the screen, adding levity and heart to the show’s high drama.⁠
⁠
Now, extending her skills far beyond performance, Totah is writing, producing, and championing stories that center queer, complicated, and—by her own definition—“deranged women.”⁠
⁠
At the link in bio, V catches up with our latest V Girls subject to talk about growing up on screen, writing from the margins, and #TheBuccaneers Season 2. ⁠
