What's up, Neighbors?! Our girl Quinta Brunson finally made it to the house!! The Abbott Elementary creator and showrunner sat down with me and from jump, the energy was everything a good visit should be — real, warm, and full of laughs.
Quinta gets into what it actually takes to build something great, why 22 episodes a year is no joke, and why making good art matters right now more than ever. She talks about hosting game nights with Questlove, and when we got the games out, she showed out. She also opens up about what it feels like to finally be in a creative space where she feels truly locked in. This one will light a fire under you whether you make things for a living or not.
