Book Description
In 1974, Ntozake Shange published a playwright entitled For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow Is Enuf. For over four decades, this book would go on to inspire millions of women across the World, creating the space for women to heal and share common untold stories. In 2012, Keith Boykin first introduced the conversation for Colored boys, opening the doors for men in the African American and Latino communities, specifically LGBT men of color. Ten years later the new 2022 spin, "A Colored Boy", D. Quincey Marquette revisits once quieted table talk conversations and sheds background insight on what it was like as a millennial male of color growing up in a evolving society during the early 90's and 2000's. The book shares real stories of self-discovery, heartache, happiness, triumph, and success while still addressing the downside of societies influence of hyper masculinity in an overly sensitive feminized society. This book is an inward reflection, and a book for ALL young men of color seeking to find their own identity, path, and purpose.
