Summary Conceição had to always write in her spare time, in the time between work and taking care of her home and her special-needs daughter. Born into a family of women who laundered clothing, she grew up in the favela called Pindura Saia in Belo Horizonte. She was the only black girl in her traditional public school and having access to books, she fell in love with them at an early age. She graduated, earned a PhD, wrote books and marked her place in the world of literature, breaking barriers and stigmas. Her books give first and last names to black women and their stories, such as in Insubmissas Lágrimas de Mulheres (Unsubmissive Tears of Women), Ponciá Vicêncio and Olhos D'Água (Eyes of Water). In Becos da Memória (Memory Alleys), she relives her past and gives wings to her "life of writing", as she commonly called her art.
