Creativity is changing lives poetically

 
"And this is for Colored girls who have considered suicide but are moving on to the end of their own rainbows"


For Colored Girls originally verses of poems by Ntozake Shange which we all know now as a Movie. One of the good things about Miss Shange's work is that it is passed on from mothers to daughters and they also pass it down horizontally to friends. For Colored Girls is one of the ground breaking books or movies because it changed women's lives and gave Black women in particular the audacity to speak out about their vulnerabilities without being afraid of what other people will say. It has been an opportunity for women to heal by sharing their stories. this was created creatively in theatrical arts and poetry. Every women has a colour and that is a theme on its own. the themes are beautifully intersecting each other to show relevance in what women go through

  1. “one thing I don’t need
    is any more apologies
    i got sorry greetin me at my front door
    you can keep yrs
    i don’t know what to do wit em
    they don’t open doors
    or bring the sun back
    they don’t make me happy
    or get a mornin paper
    didn’t nobody stop usin my tears to wash cars
    cuz a sorry.”
