Beyond the Binary Conference at UC Davis

Sunday, January 25th, 2009

I had the most fun ever this week, getting to be the keynote speaker at Beyond the Binary, a conference on bisexuality that was held at UC Davis. Go Aggies, for being down with the bi community, and for bringing bi issues to the forefront! UC Davis is doing things the right way. Thanks especially […]

Bridges and Encyclopedia

Sunday, January 11th, 2009

I’m pretty excited to announce some recent publications of mine! I have an essay in Bridges: A Jewish Feminist Journal, which I co-authored with my friend Nzinga. Check out the Autumn 2008 issue for that piece. We wrote about our experiences as African American Jews, in an essay titled “Second Glances.” It’s published by Indiana […]

“Researchers Revisit Male Bisexuality” in Science Daily

Sunday, January 4th, 2009

Thanks to Joshua for this link: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/12/081216104027.htm. This is important stuff, because I still hear people saying that bisexuality doesn’t exist in men. Which makes no sense to me and is so beyond men-are-from-Mars-women-are-from-Venus that I could barf. Why wouldn’t there be bisexual men? Why wouldn’t a man be able to experience attraction to other […]

Brown University Gets It

Sunday, December 14th, 2008

Kudos to Brown University for spreading the word about bisexual health!
Brown University
Did you know that bi-identified people are more likely than monosexuals to suffer from depression, alcoholism, mental illness, and domestic violence victimization, among other health/ safety/ well-being issues? When it comes to the intersection of health and sexual orientation, bisexuals are at the […]

Point Foundation scholarships

Sunday, December 7th, 2008

For all you students and friends of students out there, I wanted to let you know about an incredible scholarship opportunity. The Point Foundation is the national LGBT scholarship organization, and they do amazing work. They give financial and other types of support to LGBT scholars from around the country — in fact, I wouldn’t […]

I’m on the radio!

Sunday, November 2nd, 2008

I had a fun time the other day doing an interview for WGDR Radio in Vermont, on a program called Woman Stirred Radio. Thanks to Merry, my excellent host and interviewer! We got to talk for about half an hour, covering everything from the difference between nonprofits and for-profits, to bisexual health and well-being, along […]

Seinfeld Campus Bus Tour

Sunday, October 19th, 2008

Last week I spoke at an event for potential MBA students at my school. I was asked to tell the audience my favorite school memory thus far. Little did I know at the time that the best thing that could ever happen to me at UC Berkeley was yet to occur.
This week, I got to […]

Dirty Sexy Money

Sunday, August 17th, 2008

Money is not something I usually talk about on this blog, but, as an MBA candidate at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, it’s a topic I spend much of my time thinking and learning about. I subscribe to a number of business/ finance magazines — and, in fact, a couple of my subscriptions are […]

Back to School

Sunday, August 10th, 2008

School’s starting again soon, and what better time to think about diversifying the LGBTQ educational programming on your local campus! If you’re a studenty, faculty, or staff member at a university, and you’re interested in bringing more bisexual and trans ed to your school, here are a couple of things that I can help you […]

Sunday, June 22nd, 2008

Recently, Bonnie interviewed me about Bi Request for her podcast, and it’s now up and on the website!
