Connie is a content creator.
She’s a social media savvy pop culture nerd, who writes, reads, photographs, podcasts, and, most often of all, tweets. She’s currently the corporate social media manager at Scholastic. She started her professional career at the New York Daily News as a writer, before her last role at TIME for Kids as a writer and social media manager. On the pop culture side, Connie is a freelance writer, editor, and podcaster who lives at the intersection of creation and critical fandom.
She interviewed Christopher Eccleston at NYCC19. It was fantastic.
Bylines include: New York Daily News and the TV Editor for Black Girl Nerds. Her other writing has been featured in io9, Buzzfeed, SheKnows, Polygon, Shondaland, Indiewire, The Mary Sue, Hello Giggles, The Nerds of Color, Just About Write, and Bitch Flicks, among others. She’s also hosted a Doctor Who podcast called Time and Relative Blackness in Space, a Lord of the Rings podcast, Tolkien Black Girls, and an Enneagram/MBTI pop culture podcast called The Nerds Are Typing.
When not personality typing every character in pop culture or writing about the TARDIS, she’s probably tweeting from the Hufflepuff common room at 3 am, trying to close at least one of 37 tabs.
