I’m sista who didn’t choose to sink or swim
when faced with distress and suffering
Instead I grew wings...
to fly myself closer to my dreams
-From the poem "UNEXPECTED" by Brenda's Child
BIO-
Brenda’s Child has made it her life’s mission to inspire people through poetry and stories and through leading by example with courage, confidence, and integrity.
Born Latoya Bosworth, she began writing poetry at age 14 to cope with the death of her maternal grandmother, Ga-Ga. She dubbed herself Brenda's Child at the age of 21, in honor of her late mother Brenda Kay Swinton, and began performing spoken word locally.
She loves to write poetry that is uplifting and relatable. Brenda's Child emphasizes self-love, worth, and value. She also feels obligated to tell the truth... even if it hurts.
Brenda's Child 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 has performed all over from her hometown of Springfield, Massachusetts, to Philadelphia, and across the coast to San Diego. She has featured at all types of venues from nightclubs, to churches, from colleges to community organizations.
Her poetry is currently featured in the Pen&Ink column of the community newspaper
An African American Point of View

A Piece of My Mind...Poetic Confessions of a Self-Proclaimed Diva
Since then she has published four more titles.Currently BRenda's Chilsd is a columnist for Lioness Magazine.
