GLAAD and the Task Force Are At It Again

Sunday, September 27th, 2009

GLAAD and the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force both celebrated Bi Pride Day (aka Celebrate Bisexuality Day) this year, in full force. The big day was this past Wednesday (happy belated bi day, to my bi readers!). GLAAD even published a couple of pieces that I wrote for them, on their blog. Check it […]

What a difference a day makes…

Sunday, August 9th, 2009

Or a week… A couple of weeks ago, I thought I wouldn’t be able to make it to the LGBTI Health Summit or to the Bi Health Summit, both of which are happening this week in Chicago! But, thanks to some hard-working conference organizers (thanks Julie, Ed, Stewart, and Cat!) and by the grace of […]

The Dallas Principles

Sunday, May 24th, 2009

My friend Joanne Herman directed my attention to this new website/ grassroots LGBT movement call to action, The Dallas Principles, which she was involved in creating!
Although I am disappointed that none of the 24 authors of the Principles are out bisexuals (at least, according to their bios on the site) — especially considering that in […]

Three new letters after my name, as of today

Sunday, May 17th, 2009

Wow! As of today, I have a master’s degree in business administration. I’m an MBA. Actually, combined with my MA in sexuality studies, I’m now: Amy Andre, MA, MBA. Which I guess could be pronounced, “Amy Andre, mamba”.
Big hugs to my friends family for cheering me on through the past two years of study, […]

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 […]

If you are or know any Haitian-Americans, Haitians, or people concerned about the lives of the people of Haiti, and you have any financial resources, please consider contributing to this amazing organization, the Matènwa Community Learning Center. I recently met the Executive Director of the organization, Christine Low, and she’s doing incredible things. Please help […]

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 […]

A Nonprofit Fundraiser Manifesto

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

Thanks to my friend Krisana for telling me about this brilliant, inspirational piece by Sasha Dichter on nonprofit fundraising: http://sashadichter.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/manifesto-in-defense-of-raising-money_sasha1.pdf.
Here’s an excerpt:
This is not about competition for resources, this is about increasing the size of the pie. We’ve seen an unprecedented growth in global wealth in the last two decades: there are currently 95,000 […]

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 […]
