220 Connie Kiosse: Who Am I & Where do I Belong?

  1. 220 Connie Kiosse: Who Am I & Where do I Belong? Gail Zelitzky and Catherine Marienau 30:12

Connie Kiosse is a complex woman. A deep thinker whose life has taken many twists and turns. A lover of women’s literature and the authors who write them. She is always questioning how to use the artifacts of her past and asks, “Art and words – how do they fit together?”

Born of immigrant parents, life was a closed book, until at 18, Connie broke free and the world began to open up. She wrote her 1st story in high school and titled it Trapped. Once she tasted the freedom of life, Connie fell in Love with writing, Travel, culture, books and the women’s movement. Always trying to understand who she was and where she belonged, Connie started many types of groups, her favorite being reading groups and discussion groups with women who, like her, liked to do a deep dive into understanding life.

We never get over people who touch us – it’s a connection we never lose. – Connie Kiosse
