## Resource

It’s a Gen X / Elder Millennial fever dream this week as Becky sits down with wildly successful screenwriter Hilary Winston (Community, Goosebumps), who also happens to be her friend from college. They reminisce about their days at The George Washington University (GW) in the mid-to-late ’90s, including their time as White House interns, before diving into how Hilary got her start in Hollywood—thanks in part to encouragement from her friend Kerry Washington. Hilary shares what it was like writing on beloved shows like Community, My Name Is Earl, and Happy Endings before joining Going Dutch, Fox’s hit sitcom starring Denis Leary. Along the way, she offers great insight into navigating Hollywood—and why support from your peers may be the most valuable asset you have as you build a career.
