With Pride for Dignity

In 2018, With Pride for Dignity, Conerway's debut recording released featuring pianist/composer, Kenny Banks Jr., bassist Kevin Smith. The foregoing LP is an homage to our ancestors and a powerful self-affirmation in a world that too denies the pride, dignity, and humanity of African peoples.

“Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.” —Martin Luther King Jr. . . . . . . . . . . it is not lost on me that the loss we endured on this date so many years ago, bears such a similar feeling to the mourning many of us are doing right now. • when we vibrate on the level for which we have been called, we create ripples that will be felt for generations to come. • we need not concern ourselves with the size of the waves we are making, we ought to be about doing our best work — beginning with the revolutionary act of self care, that elevates us and ultimately those around us to our highest selves. be encouraged, there are yet more people to be in service to and much more work to be done. • #martinlutherkingjr #memphis #thehc3 (at Lorraine Motel) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv2YIAsh4uj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=s5ln4g9lvm1z
