Quinta Brunson returned to her alma mater, Andrew Hamilton School, where Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker presented her with the key to the city. Brunson expressed nostalgia and connection to her roots, highlighting the school's importance in inspiring her hit show "Abbott Elementary." An emotional homecoming was marked by the unveiling of a mural she designed that celebrates real local figures rather than characters from the show. Former teacher Joyce Abbott reflected on Brunson's journey and potential, illustrating the pride of the West Philadelphia community.
"It's just important to me that the mural incorporated faces from this neighborhood, faces from this school."
"Quinta Brunson, this is your city and you are ours," said Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker.
