Amy André: I am a bisexual, bi-racial woman with a Haitian father and white American mother. I have a master's degree in sexuality studies from San Francisco State University and work as a sexuality educator and author. I've had years of experience teaching about sex, which comes from giving presentations and lectures to many great organizations and universities, including the San Francisco Department of Public Health, University of California -- San Francisco medical school, California State University -- East Bay, the Women's Community Clinic, San Francisco State University, and the University of Massachusetts.
I have published essays in books such as Nobody Passes: Rejecting the Rules of Gender and Conformity, Waking Up American: Coming of Age Bi-culturally, and Getting Bi: Voices of Bisexuals Around the World.
My articles have appeared in magazines, newspapers, and on the web, including AlterNet, Curve Magazine, ColorLines Magazine, American Sexuality, Girlfriends Magazine, the Bay Times, and the Bay Area Reporter. I also run two websites: www.AmyAndre.com and www. DearAmy.net.
I live in the beautiful city of San Francisco, where I share a home with my partner, a filmmaker and women's studies professor. In my spare time, I am an active member of the bisexual community and work to promote visibility and social justice for bisexual people everywhere.
