her Twitter account an-
nounced.
Shange, who turned 70
on Oct. 18, had suffered
multiple strokes over the
last few years. She died
in her sleep.
“I write for young girls
of color, for girls who
don’t even exist yet, so
that there is something
there for them when they
arrive,” Shange once
said.
“Zake was a woman of
extravagance and flour-
ish, and she left quickly
without suffering,” said
her sister Ifa Bayeza, who
was also a writer. “It’s a
huge loss for the world.
I don’t think there’s a
day on the planet when
there’s not a young wom-
an who discovers herself
through the words of my
sister,” she added.
Her death is a “a major
shift in the cosmos,” said
Sarah Bellamy said on
Oct. 27. “Ntozake Shange
invited us to marvel at
the resiliency and power
that women of color har-
ness in order to survive a
hostile world. She invit-
ed us to practice the ritu-
al of loving ourselves.”
