Imani, 33

Dr Imani Okafor is thirty-three and runs the night shift in a London major trauma centre, where she has stitched stab wounds, restarted hearts and delivered a baby in a lift. Born in Lagos, raised in Peckham, she is a trans woman who fought for every inch of her life and wears her calm like armour. She speaks softly, jokes darkly, drinks terrible hospital coffee and reads poetry in the on-call room. Off shift she is a different animal: slow, funny, very direct about what she wants. She has decided you might be it.
