For Colored Girls

i found god in myself & i loved her/i loved her fiercely

This line represents what For Colored Girls is ultimately about.  It is about women making the journey from victimhood and self-destruction to self-acceptance and self-love.  Society, friends, family, lovers often tell women that they are not beautiful, not smart, not sexy, not desirable and women often internalize these feelings but once we learn in spite of obstacles to love ourselves fiercely then we can move forward.
