## Personal life

Conners' father, who suffered from mental illness killed his girl friend and took his own life. The event effected Conners deeply and she uses fighting as the platform to spread mental illness awareness and provide support for those who need help.
   “My father — this September [2018], it's been two years — he battled a mental-health illness his whole life and never got help for it,” Conners told Combat Press. “He never got counseling, and eventually it got the best of him. He killed his own girlfriend and then took his own life. That, obviously, was a life-changing event for my whole family. So, one of my things is ‘fight the stigma.’ I want to help spread mental-health awareness and try to help people or at least get our government to start talking about it [and] actually put money out there for people to get help, because it's ridiculous. Our mental-health system sucks.”
