Coffee With a Creative featuring Olesha Haskett
Thursday, February 19, 2026 • 9–10:30 AM • Virtual on Zoom
Join us for Coffee With a Creative featuring keynote speaker, workshop
facilitator, photography educator, and International Boudoir Photographer Olesha
Haskett. Known for redefining radical self-care and centering pleasure as a
birthright, Olesha creates soft, affirming spaces for Black women to exist in
their joy, liberation, and sensuality without guilt or shame. Her work invites
us to rethink how we relate to our bodies, our rest, and ourselves, and to step
into being our favorite version of who we are, especially in the seasons of
reinvention.
Whether you’re joining from your kitchen table, your office, or your favorite
cozy corner, grab your coffee and get ready for a powerful and nourishing
conversation about pleasure, rest, reinvention, and choosing yourself.
About the Speaker:
Olesha Haskett is a modern-day renaissance woman, keynote speaker, workshop
facilitator, photography educator, and international boudoir photographer. She
is the founder of The Coterie Noir, an inclusive educational boudoir community
that is changing how the photography industry captures Black womxn’s essence,
and the creator of the Coterie Credential Program, a first-of-its-kind
certification empowering photographers to capture Black women without bias.
Olesha’s work centers on a few core truths: pleasure is your birthright, rest
does not have to be earned, and you are your longest and most important
relationship. After being forced to restart her life after 30, she embraced
reinvention and has been thriving ever since. Today, she specializes in guiding
women 30+ in becoming their favorite version of themselves and helps
photographers serve their diverse clients with empathy, skill, and care.
Through her speaking, teaching, and creative work, Olesha cultivates spaces
where Black women can reconnect to their bodies, reclaim their joy, and redefine
what sensuality, self-love, and freedom look like on their own terms.
