She Memes Well

De: Quinta Brunson

Narrado por: Quinta Brunson

Features an Audible Exclusive: The Making of Abbott Elementary.

“In She Memes Well, Quinta gives more than a peek behind the curtain. She invites us in, lets us poke around and offers a balm for our aching souls. She moves beyond the jokes into something much deeper, something we may not recognize we need. She is the friend, sister, lover, cool co-worker we all wished we had.” (Gabrielle Union, actress and New York Times best-selling author of We’re Going to Need More Wine)

From comedian Quinta Brunson (creator and star of Abbott Elementary) comes a deeply personal and funny collection of essays about trying to make it when you're struggling, the importance of staying true to your roots, and how she's redefined humor online. This special Audible edition includes never-before-heard details about the making of Abbott Elementary, the cast, the writers' room, and how the show inadvertently created hundreds of new roles for young Black actors.

Quinta Brunson is a master at breaking the internet. Before having any traditional background in media, her humorous videos were the first to go viral on Instagram’s platform. From there, Brunson’s wryly observant POV helped cement her status in the comedy world at large, with roles on HBO, Netflix, ABC, Adult Swim, BuzzFeed, the CW, and Comedy Central. Now, Brunson is bringing her comedic chops to the page in She Memes Well, an earnest, laugh-out-loud collection about this unusual road to notoriety.

In her debut essay collection, Quinta applies her trademark humor and heart to discuss what it was like to go from a girl who loved the World Wide Web to a girl whose face launched a thousand memes. With anecdotes that range from the ridiculous—like the time she decided to go clubbing wearing an outfit she describes as "Gary Coleman meets metrosexual pirate"—to more heartfelt material about her struggles with depression, Quinta's voice is entirely authentic and eminently enjoyable. With its intimate tone and hilarious moments, She Memes Well will make you feel as if you're sitting down with your chillest, funniest friend.

Excellent, Amusing, Authentic

Brunson let’s listeners into her world beautifully. I recommend this book especially for young and young at heart people finding their way and looking for a refreshing reflection on growing up and maneuvering through this world.

Beautifully written, so relatable

Really felt like I was having a conversation with a friend, so many laughs.

Listen to it!! Five star!!

This really lifted me up for I could related so much to Quinta as she shares her stories and struggles in a honest and funny way- in her own way only she can describe.
I truly loved and just want to say Thank you Quinta!

I don’t know how to describe the audiobook but to say that, at the end of it, it made me focus on what I want to do in my life, on my childhood, how I was brought up and encouraged to be the very best of who I am.

Encourage others to do the same!

Love Quinta! First 2023 Read

I loved learning more about Quinta’s life and background, her career trajectory, and the inspiration behind Abbott Elementary. Abbott Elementary has become my favorite show, and something that I look forward to weekly. Quinta is a class act, and I have learned a few new things from this book. I love how she touched on having drive, and having drive in everything that you do in order to be successful and be in the right circles to navigate on the right path on what you were called to do. I also related on the cooking segment, and I loved how humble Quinta is regarding her popularity and how she navigates fame and balancing her personal life and lessons she has learned along the way that can transfer in everyone’s life. I definitely recommend this read.

It’s your girl, Quinta!

The story of this talented woman’s life was such a great ride: so thoughtfully composed and crafted . The reading of it was marvelous! Sometimes you wish the author would give a written work the real iLife music of intonation and verbal intention, so terrifically done here. When’s the next book & performance?!

Really fun and real book

I really enjoyed this book, it was especially fun to hear about Quinta's relationship to pop culture and media I grew up with and loved myself. I really enjoyed getting to know her and I appreciate her wit as well as vulnerability.

Enjoyed it

I enjoyed the story. I didn’t know very much about the author and had only seen a few episodes of Abbott Elementary. It was interesting to learn about her schooling, family and other jobs. Very relatable but also inspiring and makes you want to just give things a try even if it seems scary at first.

Love Quinta!

Quinta is just getting started and she is impeccable. Loved this view into her life leading up to Abbott.

Real, Funny, and Enjoyable

Great listen/read. It’s great learning some of her story of life and success. I love that it’s narrated by her as well.

SO SO GOOD!

From the first chapter through the epilogue, Sister Quinta Brunson shares truly insightful and ridiculously funny moments, thoughts, loves, failures and successes. This book is for everyone. Highly recommend!
