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

by Ntozake Shange

“I found god in myself / & i loved her / i loved her fiercely.”

Experience the raw, rhythmic, and transformative power of Ntozake Shange’s foundational masterpiece. Part poetry, part dance, and pure soul, For Colored Girls who have considered suicide / when the rainbow is enuf is more than a play—it is a choreopoem that redefined American theater.

Through a vibrant tapestry of interconnected stories, seven women—defined only by the colors of the rainbow—traverse the landscape of Black womanhood. From the bruising realities of heartbreak and betrayal to the defiant heights of sisterhood and self-discovery, they speak the “unspoken” with lyrical ferocity.
