Camille A. Brown Instagram – CHEERS and HAPPY OPENING to the cast and creative team for the Broadway revival of for colored girls who have considered suicide/ when the rainbow is enuf. It took a team of powerful warriors to put our show together and I’m so very honored to have worked with them. I am especially grateful for their care, generosity, and support.
Lifting up Ntozake Shange’s name and her brilliant work. Thankful to have contributed to her legacy and honored to have taken the dive into her “choreopoem”. Lifting up, Katherine Dunham. She was the first Black woman to direct and choreograph on Broadway over 65 years ago. It was hard to imagine I would ever get the chance to do this because I had never lived to see it. The fear was real. I didn’t see it coming. I didn’t think I could do it. My family and friends surrounded me with their love and helped me push through the fear. It has been a journey and they were with me the entire way.
LOVE and GRATITUDE to Dianne McIyntre, Trazana Beverley, Sharrata Hunt, Aku Kadogo, Janet League, Paula Moss, Michele Shay, and Carol Maillard!!! Members of the original Broadway production attended previews last week and are pictured with the cast. Amara Granderson, Tendayi Kuumba, Kenita R. Miller, Okwui Okpokwasili, Stacey Sargeant, Alexandria Wailes, and D. Woods. We THANK YOU for your power and for inspiring us!

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR WORK!!!!
Honoring the legacy of this piece and all the iterations that have come before. This is my offering and it’s for colored girls everywhere.
