HANIFAH & OLIVE
Hanifah Walidah
“Thirtysomething,” Musician/Playwright/Filmmaker
Olive Demetrius
“Twentysomething,” Cinematographer/Filmmaker
Brooklyn, NY
At a 2004 Halloween party, Olive gave Hanifah her number, but after Hanifah called, Olive didn’t call her back. The reason? She was already with someone. When they next met, Hanifah asked Olive if things had changed and Olive immediately kissed her in that way that says “Yes, things have changed. Oh boy, have they changed!” Today, they consider themselves “the most beloved couple on the planet of Brooklyn.” Hanifah and Olive have worked together on the music video “Make a Move,” which has been seen on Logo. Their relationship works due to “a delicate balance of hot sex; similar sense of silliness; hard work; creativity; and enough space away to remind each what she loves about the other.”
