About the author
My name is Trashina Conner I am a 28 year old native from Saginaw, MI where I began dancing at a young age. My passion for dance developed through my life eventually leading me to Howard University where I attained my BFA in Theater Arts with a concentration in Dance in 2011.
Immediately after I moved to New York City where I currently reside. Since here I have had the immense pleasure of performing with Def Dance Jam Community (2011-2015). Mickey D. and Friends (2011-Current), Vashti Dance Theater (2015-Current). In 2014, I premiered a self- choreographed piece '3.26.06' as a solo artist with BalaSole Dance Company. I have worked with choreographers: Ronald K. Brown, Dianne McIntyre, Nathan Trice, Lisa Johnson-Willingham, Michael Leon Thomas, and others.
When I am not performing you can find me in a classroom, cafeteria, or music room teaching dance to the young scholars of NYC. Through jazz, contemporary, ballet, swing, sign infused dance, and improve I aim to bring discipline, communication skills, self-love, and a safe space for personal expression to my students.
In 2015, I began the process of writing and publishing my first children's book "18 Ingredients to Make Daddy” I used 18 because my father; first love passed when I was 18 years old. Each ingredient was what made him my “perfect” daddy. The book was released May 15, 2016. Will be available on Amazon, Kindle, Barnes & Nobles, and with other distributors in July of 2016.
However can be purchased on my website now at www.trashinaconner.org/store
About the book
In the book you will learn of MJ's recipe in creating her 'perfect' daddy. Quality Time and persistence are a couple of the ingredients that MJ uses in creating her Daddy. Join her in this unique journey, making any additions you need to create your daddy, after all he is your first love so you want him to be perfect. With this book I hope to shine light on the importance of father and daughter relationships. Also salute all fathers who attend dance recitals, braid hair, read bedtime stories, and when their child says "Daddy" they're there.

I can honestly say I've watched this talented artist develop and continuously perfect her craft. She continues to step outside the box, dance all around it, before blowing it up with her creative genius. The sky is the limit for this young, black, dancer, teacher, author, visionary.
