Today We Honor Quinta Brunson Quinta Brunson is a Emmy award-winning actress/writer/producer/comedian-known for her hit ABC comedy Abbott Elementary, which she created, executive produces, and stars in. The show draws not only on Brunson’s own experiences in the Philadelphia public schools but is also inspired by her mother’s career as a kindergarten teacher in West Philadelphia. In 2022, Brunson was named by Time magazine to its “100 Most Influential People” list as well as the Hollywood Reporter’s “Women in Entertainment Power 100” list. Brunson, 33, attributes much of the show’s success, and the development of its characters, to her writers’ room, which is staffed primarily by women. “We hear each other out on what we think makes these characters layered,” she says. “Everyone’s open to taking the lead and taking charge on these stories.” CARTER™️ Magazine carter-mag.com #wherehistoryandhiphopmeet #historyandhiphop365 #cartermagazine #carter #quintabrunson #womenshistorymonth #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory #history #staywoke #abbotelementary https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp2BARJuE0f/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
