A skilled researcher, thorough reporter, unique interviewer, and poignant storyteller, Sylvia A. Harvey (SAH), writes with a fresh perspective and interweaves traditional elements of print journalism, web/blogging and multimedia.

SAH was born and bred in Oakland, California. However, she chose foreign soil (New York) to pursue higher learning.

Sylvia A. Harvey (SAH) was born and bred in Oakland, California. However, she chose foreign soil (New York) to pursue higher learning. First, she earned her Bachelors of Arts in Sociology from Columbia University. After being accepted at Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, SAH subsequently earned her Masters of Science.  The California transplant first studied society and is now communicating with it.

For SAH, journalism is neither simply trade nor craft. When it is done with accuracy, Joseph Pulitzer’s ultimate demand, journalism is a right: a tool of truth. Journalism allots her, the purveyor, the honored opportunity to bellow or simply whisper a truth through a medium, which compels an audience to pay attention.

As a writer, SAH has become a more active and engaged community member. In mentoring at Children of Promise, NYC, serving as a member of the Board of Directors for The Andrew Goodman Foundation’s’ Hidden Heroes Awards, and organizing and programming cultural fundraiser events through UPLIFT by SAH, clearly SAH and the community are one.
