But really.. who is she?
Brenda's Child is the confident diva, with a smooth spoken word style. She has been writing poetry for 15 years, and performing spoken word for 6 years. She uses her poetry as an outlet as she experiences the daily joys and struggles of being a mother, youth advocate, teacher, African-American, female, optimist, and dreamseeker.
Brenda's Child loves to write poetry that is uplifting and inspiring. Brenda's Child emphasizes self-love, worth, and value. She also feels obligated to tell the truth... even if it hurts.
Brenda's Child's poetry is currently featured in the Pen&Ink column of the community newspaper
"An African-American Point of View" .
In April of 2007 Brenda's Child self-published her first book of poetry entitled
