Yes Sis! THAT’s what African womyn LOOK Like!! Fierce! & Fine! ~ Also, many thank yous from my heart to U both for blessing our creative space and sharing the healing in and from Denver. You coulda made 3 feature UPeople docs just on the reality of living “out” in all its manifestations from here. Indeed, “the culture cures.” BigUps to the filmmakers! ~ Ashara
Oh Goddess Bless!
I loved my loc’d Olive, but this is definitely the energy that reflects OLIVEEEEEEE to me!!! Welcome to the tribe grrrl! You know I’m a member of the baldies forever! LOL And Congrats to you and Hanifah on the move in. The growth is beautiful…~A
Congratulations Olive on all your accomplishments. You look wonderful with or without your dreads and you still look feminine. I am happy to view your episodes. Daydra Loved it too. Hope to see you soon.
Olive,
Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful
You look beautiful Olive. and don’t sleep conscious men love beautiful women with short hair. and there are a lot of conscious men in brooklyn. so you are still prey. lol
darling..
you look absolutley beautiful!
frankly being a child from the 70’s and growing up with blues r&b jazz and funk in my household and then later true hip hop, seeing the transition in music i take that ebony title to mean the industry is heralding in a lot of music that has basically lost its soul. we’ve become the salt that has lost its savor. point in case, Me’shell Ndegeocello’s music drew me to her and open up corridors and emotions in me you could not imagine and that is because of the soul that was in it that touched the soul of me the funk the…just every thing about it. but now she’s adopted this trick-hop sound and its empty. i went to two of her concerts in the ATL this year and last and along with this new bright light gremlin thing she’s got going on i was so unfulfilled. So i think music is taking a critical change towards the worse for Nubian people and its really really disparaging to watch the soul being sucked out of it by this trendy ish that has poison the airwaves
LOVE the hair! I have been thinking of shaving my locs (again) recently.
Love the beauty that is the post-move energy…congrats to both of you on the everything wonderful coming out of this film. ( I can’t wait to get the chance to see it!)
Olive you look stunning. your short hair really brings out your beatiful eyes and graceful neck. I have about two inches or so of hair myself so i am biased. What a great u people story. I have found myself in that situation many a time. I find as I get older i am able to eal with it more apropriately depending on the
situation. another great episode.
keep up the good work
Olive you look lovely; best to you both.
Live, Laugh, Love
Peace,
t.r.
Look at your perfectly round head. Nice look Olive~Peace,love and hair grease
hey sistas. i just finished watching all the podcasts on blip.tv and i am soooo inspired. im a first year film student at temple u in philly and seeing u two do the damn thang feeds my fire. thanks!!!! feel free to check out my work at thirdstrikefilms.blip.tv and leave me
comments. and PLEASE keep ‘em coming
OK, so I was toying around with the idea of going natural. I know that shaving the head is NOT an option for me because not everyone can pull that off. (Olive, you were beautiful before, but girrrrl!!! WOW)I love how you put the whole look together. The clothes and the make up.. Fierce! I have been a prisoner of the relaxer for far too long. I want to be set free! BTW, am I the only on the that finds it odd that a relaxer would be called African Pride? just a thought…
Hey Famalama, I must admit i do not check out every episode but when I do awwwwwwwhhhhhhh…… The chemistry is tight, the people are tight and I feel closer to you both. Miss you both so much and can’t wait to see you in June!!! Congrats on the entry into the filmfest. Olive my Dear simply stunning, new attitude and all!!! LOL
Keep it real Ladies!!!!
I’m loving the short hair on you, Olive! You wear it well. Short hair is liberating. I’ve enjoyed my wash ‘n wear look for 9 years, with a couple of growth spurts in between.
My heart goes out to Ru Johnson. I’ve been the victim of an occasional ignorant remark by a few clueless whites and Jews. Unfortunately, I thought about all the things I should’ve said after the fact. The initial shock of an ignorant comment tends to override my ability to react with a quick come-back line. Words hurt a lot, and now, twenty years later, I still remember some of the things bosses said to me when I used to work in NYC/Corporate America. Hopefully, you’ll stun the hell out of the next person that says something out of line to you. Be blessed ~ Evelyn
y’all are so fabulous– yeah for changes! and congrats on continued love and creation. Olive, you’re looking gorgeous–much luv
