For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide / When the Rainbow Is Enuf by Ntozake Shange

I re-read this play as a part of my quest to re-read 12 "classics" by Black women writers in 2020. I probably read this first as a teenager though I remember first seeing it performed when I was in college. This is something that hits differently now that I've lived more and had more experiences a Black woman. The pace of this play, for some reason, seemed slower than I remembered and the words feel less precise though the impact is still there. I'll read it again in a few years to see how life shifts my perceptions of this world.
