‘ABBOTT ELEMENTARY’ WAS NOT AN OVERNIGHT SUCCESS

​Recently,  Brunson spoke about how there are now shortcuts to longterm succes.

​“The ‘Abbott’ pilot is a result of me focusing on my craft,” Brunson said. “If I didn’t sit there and learn how to properly write a pilot, how to do a three-act structure, none of this would’ve happened. I know there are so many other ways to make it big and get famous and blah, blah, blah, but man, that craft will gift you all of this.”

At the NAACP Image Awards on Saturday (Feb. 28), the show was awarded for another stellar season. Brunson won for Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Series, and the show won Outstanding Comedy Series.

“Thank you, NAACP, again,” Brunson said during her acceptance speech. “I’m very appreciative. Feels better this year than others. I feel that we’ve have watched some of our Black members of our family be attacked in this world, and it feels really good to come to this room and celebrate our Blackness.”
