2023 Glamour Women of the Year honoree Quinta Brunson accepted her award from Ayo Edebiri. Read her remarks and her speech here.
Though Abbot Elementary creator Quinta Brunson's parents “didn't necessarily support her going into comedy,' the self-proclaimed “Philly kid” credits them for where she is now. “They made me watch every old sitcom that ever existed. So this is their fault,” she said during her Glamour Women of the Year Award speech. “They also instilled in me the importance of advocating for myself. As a young Black woman in Hollywood, I have to do that every single day.
She is also family, so I feel fortunate to have her in the room. Also, Taraji is here who is wonderful, just supportive, couldn’t ask for a better TV mom, and as I came in, I got to see my fake cousin Lauren London. Lemme just say thank you to Glamour. This is such an honor, more of an honor than I even realized. This is a big deal. Walking into this event tonight was incredible… And thank you to my parents, who were 100% not excited when I told them about my comedy dreams.
