Na década de 1980, entrou em contato com o Grupo Quilombhoje. Estreou na literatura em 1990, com obras
publicadas na série Cadernos Negros, publicada pela organização.

CONCEIÇÃO EVARISTO was born in a slum on the south side of Belo Horizonte. She had to combine her studies with working as a maid until she finished Teachers College in 1971, at the age of 25. She then moved to Rio de Janeiro, where she passed a public exam to become a teacher. She also studied Languages at UFRJ (the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro).
In the 1980s, she came into contact with the Quilombhoje Group. She made her literary debut in 1990, with works
published in the Cadernos Negros series, published by that organization.
She has a master's degree in Brazilian Literature from PUC-Rio and a PhD in Comparative Literature from Universidade Federal Fluminense. Her works, especially the 2003 novel Ponciá Vicêncio, deal with issues such as racial, gender and class discrimination. Ponciá Vicêncio was translated into English and published in the United States in 2007.

I'm Sparrow. I built this matrix so that every creator on the planet would be conceivably findable and accessible from all others, beginning with musicians in Bahia, Brazil. The matrix combines recommendation by both artificial and human intelligence (human preferred) and the small-world phenomenon (responsible for the fact that most humans are within 6 steps of most others) in a simple but powerful manner which has never been used before.
