Susan Wokoma (born 31 December 1987) is a British actress. She is best known for her role as 'Cynthia' in Michaela Coel's E4 sitcom Chewing Gum. Susan was a member of The National Youth Theatre as a teenager before going on to train at RADA aged 19.
Susan is a feminine given name, from French Susanne, from Late Latin Susanna, from Greek Sousanna, from Hebrew Šošanna, literally meaning "lily", a term derived from Susa (Persian: Šuš), a city in southwest Iran that was the ancient capital of the Elamite kingdom and Achaemenid empire.
Susan Sto Helit (also spelled Sto-Helit), once referred to as Susan Death, is a fictional character in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series of fantasy novels. She is the "granddaughter" of Death, the Disc's Grim Reaper, and, as such, has "inherited" a number of his abilities. She has appeared in three Discworld novels to date: Soul Music, Hogfather, and Thief of Time. She is also referred to (though not by name) at the end of Mort, when her father invites Death to her christening. She is one of the Discworld series' principal protagonists. Being both human and supernatural, Susan is frequently (and reluctantly) forced away from her "normal" life to do battle with various malign supernatural forces or, barring that, to take on her grandfather's job in his absence. Death tends to employ her in his battles against the Auditors of Reality, particularly in situations where he has no power or influence. As the series progresses, she also begins to take on roles educating children, so that, as Pratchett mentions in The Art of Discworld, she has "ended up, via that unconscious evolution that dogs characters, a kind of GothMary Poppins".
Davy is a small lunarcrater that is located on the eastern edge of the Mare Nubium. It overlies the lava-flooded remains of the satellite crater Davy Y to the east, a formation which contains a crater chain designated Catena Davy. To the southeast of Davy is the prominent crater Alphonsus.
The outer rim of Davy is low, and the interior has been partly resurfaced. The perimeter is somewhat polygonal in shape, especially in the western half, and the southeast rim has been overlain by Davy A. The latter is bowl-shaped with a notch in the northern rim. The interior of Davy lacks a central peak, although there are some low central mounds and the rim of Davy Y forms a low ridge leading from the northern outer rim.
Catena Davy
This linear string of 23 tiny craters runs from the midpoint of Davy Y towards the walled basin Ptolemaeus, following a slightly curving course to the east-northeast. It is located at selenographic coordinates 11.0° S, 7.0° W, and has a diameter of 50km.
This formation is not believed to be due to secondary cratering because it is not radial to a suitable source crater. The most likely cause is believed to be due to a single body that broke apart prior to impact due to tidal effects. High resolution images have demonstrated that the craters formed at about the same time since the ejecta from each crater does not overlay neighboring craters. However, there are still some scientists who believe that this chain of craters may be volcanic in origin.
As a child growing up in Elephant & Castle, it was sitcoms like The Real McCoy and Goodness Gracious Me that Susan loved the most. Her gift for comedy was recognised by her teachers, who encouraged her to apply to the National Youth Theatre. By 16, Susan had an agent, and soon found herself studying at RADA. In winning her place at the academy, Susan selected and rehearsed her own speeches without any help. It worked, and Susan says it was a useful lesson in trusting her instincts and believing in the value of what she has to offer as an individual.
Although RADA gave her an incredible toolkit, Susan describes having a feeling early-on that if she had a successful career it wouldn’t involve starring in classic plays at places like Shakespeare’s Globe, where so many RADA graduates go on to...

Although RADA gave her an incredible toolkit, Susan describes having a feeling early-on that if she had a successful career it wouldn’t involve starring in classic plays at places like Shakespeare’s Globe, where so many RADA graduates go on to work. Once again, Susan’s instincts were right. After giving herself time to find her feet in the industry, she has become known for standout performances in comedies like Chewing Gum and Crazyhead. She pinches herself when she realises that the kind of shows she grew up loving are the same ones she now gets to work on. Having recently been commissioned to write her own sitcom, Susan is looking forward to the next few years developing her voice both on and off screen.
