34. Probably after the Janet Jackson movie

"Poetic Justice is a 1993 drama/romance film starring Janet Jackson and Tupac Shakur... the main character, Justice, writes beautiful poems which she recites throughout the movie. The poems are in fact by Maya Angelou."

That's what she was promoting when the famous topless-with-hands shot appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone. Despite the awful pun of the title, it hit number one at the box office... so, babies born about that time would be around 21 years old now.
