Talib Kweli drops “She’s My Hero” about the true story of Bresha Meadows, the 14-year-old who is serving a prison sentence stemming from shooting her father in 2016 after her and her family suffered years of domestic abuse.
“Regardless of how you feel about this particular case, whether you feel it’s a self defense issue, a domestic abuse issue, a mental health issue or all of the above, the take away for me is that we must do a better job of taking care of and protecting our children.
