9 Things You Didn't Know About Sex Education's Patricia Allison (aka Ola!)

In an interview with The Italian Rêve, Patricia recalled that the first time she was on stage she had an epiphany: she was just 10 years old, performing at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, and she realised how much she loved acting. (What, did your elementary school not perform plays at the Royal Opera House?)

Patricia shared that while she was in high school, sex education wasn't a topic that was discussed frequently. She wishes she had some type of comfort as her character Ola does. Patricia even said that while in a pub, a mother thanked her for having a hand in the show and that it had such a positive effect on her relationship with her son, who had recently used the show to come out to his mom.

It doesn't come to a surprise that the nature-loving actress's most used emoji is the sun emoji! Her close second is any flower emoji, which isn't a shock either.

When asked what her superpower would be during an interview, Patricia said she would want music to play whenever she enters a room, as if she were in a movie. The actress can play the guitar and sing so maybe she'll make her own theme song!

In the future, she wants to work on stories that have a crossover of mixed-raced roles and feminism, "I know the kind of things that interest me and I'm a huge feminist, so if there's anything that has to do with being black and a woman, I'm there."

She doesn't just talk the talk, she walks the walk — literally. Besides being a feminist, Patricia also participates in protests. She posted to her Instagram a photo of her with a sign that read, "Ignorance Won't Silence The People" for the Peoples Vote March in Westminster, London last Spring.

While she admits to having Love Actually on repeat when she was younger, Patricia said she was also obsessed with The Holiday.
