for colored girls

A place for my thoughts...who would have imagined it? Certainly not me. I used to keep my thoughts under lock and key but now they are going to be broadcast to the entire internet community. Pretty impressive for a little colored girl from New Jersey.

Why the title, for colored girls? Besides giving a shout out to Ntozake Shange for her fine writing, it was the choreopoem which blew a door open for me. She writes,

i found god in myself
& i loved her/ i loved her fiercely

& this is for colored girls who have considered
suicide/ but are movin to the ends of their own
rainbows

Press on sisters, to the end of your own rainbow.
Shalom
