For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf

by Ntozake Shange

A powerful tapestry of voices, For Colored Girls… gives fierce, poetic life to the struggles and triumphs of Black women. Raw, lyrical, and unapologetically honest, it’s a celebration of resilience, sisterhood, and the will to survive. This very first choreopoem reflects the resilience of seven African American women known only by the colors they wear, the ‘ladies’ share personal stories of love, abandonment, abuse, and self-discovery through poetry, dance, and music.
