The Tragic Forgotten Tale That Inspired Tupac’s “Brenda’s Got A Baby”
Spreading Awareness
The opening lyrics to “Brenda’s Got A Baby” paint us a clear picture, of people mocking a child they don’t even know for simply being at the mercy of her environment. Brenda wasn’t strong enough to change things around her, she wasn’t even old enough to write her name right but instead of helping her, she finds the community mocking her for falling prey to her surroundings.
Community participation and support are important for any individual, especially a child who’s gone through an ordeal like child-birth but unfortunately, instead of being empowered and picked up, she faced undeserved belittlement and alienation.
