January 29, 2008 by souloperator
Hanifah and Olive sit and sip tea with the tea lady herself Jennifer Jackson of NotJustTea.com. While sipping tea they recall when Olive almost stood Hanifah up on their 2nd anniversary, the controversial art of Kara Walker and the per usual lesbianonic chit chat over astrology. Gloria stumbles upon one U People story of a woman and her battle royal in a San Francisco ladies room. A few more days to the U People Screening at Solomon’s Porch, Saturday Feb 2nd . More info and tickets here.

dear walidah,
i saw you perform and met you briefly at bitterzoet in amsterdam,
i love this space!i love u people!
super howt-t-t.>— it is interesting hearing this conversation about the work of kara walker, there is a parrallel with the way you perform, the way you use your voice and your body, which speaks similar stories to those portrayed in walker’s silhoettes, i noticed it at bz/after viewing the show, but could not think it solidly, it was just really sharp and slicing, because it was not so much in your words, but in your gestures, and perhaps the combination of the words and the gestures and the tones in your voice, anyways, it was (boom!)really cool.

Thank you Dineo.
I am just coming to know Kara Walkers work and am still taking it all in. I appreciate the comparison.
