So many of the writers in our room have very close connections to teachers. We are people that have been impacted by these systems. We are people that are products of these systems and, you know, so I think we all sort of just from jump have a lot to say.

Welcome back to working. I'm your host, Karen Han. And I'm your other host, June Thomas. Hi, June. How are you? I am swell. Thank you, Karen. I just ate some jammy dodgers. I am loving, reacquaint to myself with the junk food of my youth.

Speaking of childhood snacks and childhood, I believe your interview subject is related in a very elementary way. So who did you talk to this week?

So the voice we heard at the beginning of the show belongs to Brittany Nichols, who is a comedy writer and performer and actor. She even made a movie. But we spent most of our time chatting about Abbott Elementary and how the writer's room, which she's a part of, works.

I can't wait to listen to your conversation because I love Abbott Elementary so much. But before we get to that, what can we look forward to in the slight plus segment this week?

So as I mentioned, Brittany has some pretty kick ass acting credits on her resume. And I was curious if she feels the need to specialize in writing nowadays or if she'd like to continue to develop her acting and indeed her stand-up career.

She also talked about her experience creating a micro budget movie, Suicide Kale, which did really well on the festival circuit.

That is so exciting and I can't wait to listen to it. And Slate Plus members will hear that at the end of the episode. But if you're not a Slate Plus member but want to hear that segment, why not join Slate Plus?

Alright, let's hear June's conversation with Brittany Nichols.

Brittany Nichols, welcome to working. I know you are one of those.

Honestly, annoyingly accomplished multi-hyphenate people. You wrote and started a movie called Suicide Kale, available on several video on demand sites.

You've acted in shows like Transparent, Take My Wife, and a Black Lady sketch show. You do comedy. You've worked as a journalist. You even played basketball for a Division I college team based in New Haven.
