After reading the stage play “For Colored Girls who have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow is Enuf,” by Ntozake Shange and watching the film by Tyler Perry I will discuss relationships.

When both the movie and play are over they both show the women reaffirming solidarity and joining together to either celebrate or to be a helping hand for the other
