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

5.0

I watched Tyler Perry's version of this play years before I found my copy in The Strand. When I watched the film it touched me so deep and reading it only made me feel closer to the united experience of colored girls throughout time. Ntozake Shange is incredibly talented and did an amazing job of depicting such complex relationships in a casual way. I love how she would abruptly shift from a poem to a dialogue between the women. I love how she wrote in ebonics. I love how real this play is. I love it so much.
