October 14, 2010 - With the movie release of "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf" Ntozake Shange is once again returning to the center of Black thought and conversation. The original theatrical release (1975) mined the emotions of women across the country; and won an Obie Award.
Ms. Shange read for Mosaic as a precursor to an interview that will appear in a future issue. She's also celebrating the release of her new book, "Some Sing, Some Cry" which she authored with her sister Ifa Bayeza.
After recovering from illness and a stroke, Ms. Shange, a native Trentonian, has settled in Brooklyn NY to be closer to friend and family.
