Dr. LaShay Harvey
Principal + Founder
Educator. Storyteller. Student.
Dr. LaShay Harvey, is an educator, sexologist, and artist. She has always been attracted to creation stories: those stories that tell how something became. Her work and career interrogates not only how something comes to be (that is to say, born or birthed) but also examines the narratives that surround birth and becoming. Put another way, Dr. Harvey studies the reproductive lives of Black girls and women. To this end, Dr. Havey holds a PhD in Human Sexuality Studies, and a Master’s Degree in Education. She has taught and trained on sexuality education for over 20 years. She is the principal and founder of Black Girl Saturday School®, an immersive experience where Black women journey back to their Girlhood seeking brilliance. Dr. Harvey was born in Southeast Georgia and raised in Northeast Florida, likes her grits with butter, salt and pepper and her tea sweet!

“When we study the brilliance found in Black Girlhood, all things change.
We are changed. You can see it in how we walk, how we talk, how we think.”
–Dr. LaShay Harvey, Black Girl Saturday School® Principal + Founder
The Jam Session
The Jam Session is a one time event where we gather to explore and celebrate current events that have an impact on Black women and girls. Jam Sessions are the perfect way for newcomers to learn more about what Black Girl Saturday School® is all about! Jam Sessions are open to all women and girls: Tell your mama, bring a friend.
The Study
The Study is a 4-week session where we delve deeply into the work, life, and/or specific contribution(s) of a particular Black woman. We study her craft and her impact on Black girlhood and womanhood. While in deep study, we reflect on how this woman and her work has shaped our experience(s) coming of age as Black women and girls.
The Workshop
The Workshop is the most personal and philosophical of our sessions. We take a theme relevant to Black girlhood and womanhood and study how that theme plays out in our lives. In a workshop, the participant is the subject. We question, we interrogate. We find the jewels in our experiences and use them to redefine and reconnect with the woman in the mirror.
