Years before becoming Aquillia "Q" Mikel, the TV writer and aerialist was addicted to television at a young age. Raised in a windy city, she forced her family to watch Norman Lear reruns or Disney Channel to spark tough conversations. She decided to make money by subjecting strangers to similar experiences. Her writing toggles between surrealism and irreverence, often tackling polite dinner topics like Jesus and climate change. Her work frequently includes the questionable decisions she has made throughout her life, but any similarities to people are purely coincidental – probably.
