Ntozake Shange's posthumous unpublished collection of plays, poems, and essays is brought to life by a stellar ensemble of narrators. It begins with Tarana Burke's personal foreword on meeting Shange and leads into Imani Perry's soft-spoken narration. Her even tone encourages reflection by anyone who connects with Shange's work, which has impacted Black women for decades. Each section is introduced. The women's voices come in and out like one long, fluid performance poem.

In the spring of 2022, I traveled to New York with my two of my friends, Tarana Burke and Yaba Blay, and Tarana’s adult child, Kaia Burke, to see Ntozake Shange’s classic play: for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf, on Broadway, directed by Camille Brown. For our generation and that of our mothers, for colored girls is what could be called an urtext, an anchoring work of art that captures twentieth-century Black women’s lives.
