The color purple isn’t a life that I have personally lived or seen others around me live but it is a life that can be experienced by others around the globe. The connection doesn’t need to start from one being sexually abused by the father but it can be a woman finding out who she really is after the worst has happened to her.

In Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Family reunion Lisa Breaux, one of Madea's nieces, is engaged to an abusive and controlling investment banker by the name of Carlos Armstrong. While she desperately wants to get out of the engagement, her mother, Victoria, urges her to go through with the wedding, telling Lisa to avoid doing the things that make Carlos angry.
