About Me

I am a descendant of "Other Mama," "MaDear ('Mamie')," "Mama Chicken," "Big Daddy," "Papa LC,""Mama Liza", "Knuckle Brown", Frankie ('Nanny'), James, Lelia, Steven, & Tawania, & many who I've yet to meet until I ascend. Yet & still I feel them within everyday. I am of those spirits & that of the Most High, & that's what sustains me. And it is so...

What can I say?...hmm....I think it's best to ask those who know me about me. Sometimes outsiders have a better view of who we are. We tend to say what we think we are or wish to portray, but if I have to, I'll say that I'm a shy, quirky (& funny as H-E-double hockey sticks!), southern gyrl who cherishes life, love, & friendships. In my opinion, I'm one of the coolest, most laid back, down-to-earth sistas you'll ever come across. (I'm not on that petty BS.) Just like my name(Con),... "there's more to me than what meets the eyes. Outwardly, I'm a gentle Queen who's a wolverine in disguise..." (from my poem "WAR CRY") My desire is to please God through my words, my praise, & my everyday walk in life and for the liberation of my people. I may not succeed all the time, but I try my bestand will come out on top.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

GOD, my husband (although I think it's someone I already know...lol!), my unborn seed, the future me (like 10 years from now), other poets, artists, & freedom fighters, & all great minds of the past, present, & future...
