Should be read more than once. Reading is absorbing the poetry; a staged production, I imagine, a thunderous push. #forcoloredgirlswhohaveconsideredsuicidewhentherainbowisenuf #bookreview #igreads #instabooks #ntozakeshange https://www.instagram.com/p/CDB843pJjJeT6jGuNp-HpwK9VB8l4cx4udTtGo0/?igshid=19vu782up6fls

College days. Thank you, dear ancestor. 🙏🏾 #Repost @blackwritergonerogue ・・・ Circa 1996, a couple of sister girls at NYU decided to put on a production of sister Ntozake Shange’s #forcoloredgirlswhohaveconsideredsuicidewhentherainbowisenuf . I was the LADY IN RED. And sharing that sister’s story of losing her children changed my life. Shange’s work poured into my soul a way of knowing myself and my story, the glory of being a Black woman something magical and true. Her way of telling our stories was both a whisper and a roar. Sister Shange, thank you, thank you. Rest in glorious black girl power. #blackgirlsdontdie #ntozakeshange #rip https://www.instagram.com/p/BpiJR8Zlk9h/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11slaer68okyv

i found god in myself and i loved her i loved her fiercely Ntozake Shange Mother Ntozake, You are will never know how you saved my life. You will never know how much you influenced my writing, performance, and creativity. You will never know how your words helped to shape me and raise me into my womanhood. You were the first Black Woman who gave me permission to see, know, & find God in me. You taught me that there are times when I will not be ok. And that is ok. You showed me that art could, would, and forever save my life. Thank you ancestor Ntozake Shange. I love you. I am forever grateful for your life and for your artistic expression and your black excellence. Rest well Queen. You earned Queen Ancestor.

The first time I heard of #ntozakeshange was at my Grandma Betty’s house. My Aunt Diane had a copy of the book and the poster #forcoloredgirlswhohaveconsideredsuicidewhentherainbowisenuf I was too young to fully understand the book but when no one was around I would read sections of it out loud. In 1998, I interned at @beaconpress and the only other black person there was an editor. I was helping to prepare for new releases. I saw #ntozakeshange had a book coming out. I gushed about how for colored girls changed my life. She wrote down Ntozake’s address and encouraged me to write and tell her. I never did. I’ve always regretted that. Back then (even now), writers like her were my life line. Her words gave me hope when I was in a hopeless situation. Although she may be physically no longer with us, her words, his influence live on in my writers like me. Thank you #ntozakeshange! https://www.instagram.com/p/BpfaEU0l84P/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fa3zjor5vc29

“I found God in myself and I loved her, I loved her Fiercely.” ・・・ #RestInPower Your brilliance has transformed the world. 🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️👊🏾 (October 18, 1948 - October 27, 2018) —————————- “Zake was a woman of extravagance and flourish, and she left quickly without suffering,” said Ifa Bayeza, her sister who also is a playwright and theater artist. “It’s a huge loss for the world. I don’t think there’s a day on the planet when there’s not a young woman who discovers herself through the words of my sister. #NtozakeShange, the poet, novelist and pioneering playwright whose landmark choreopoem, “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow is Enuf,” helped generations of Black women discover their voices, has passed. Her legacy will never be forgotten. #forcoloredgirlswhohaveconsideredsuicidewhentherainbowisenuf https://www.instagram.com/missjemeni/p/BpdQaMogdcI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1id6yceuup3pp

“When I die, I will not be guilty of having left a generation of girls behind thinking that anyone can tend to their emotional health other than themselves.” Thank you, #ntzokeshange.

Rest in peace to pioneering #playwright #ntozakeshange who gave #coloredgirls #blackgirlmagic well before most knew what it was. #forcoloredgirlswhohaveconsideredsuicidewhentherainbowisenuf still resonates and is tragically just as relevant today especially in wake of #metoo and #sexualassault ....She was the second #blackwoman playwright on #broadway and I was honored to meet her once. Now my fellow #thespians and I will continue to tell #stories that matter & uplift in her honor... https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpc8sHpBsgb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16hi0oba2rmgt
