Featured from CNN to PBS to Cosmopolitan magazine for her expertise in LGBT community topics, Amy Andre is the Executive Director of San Francisco Pride and the co-author of Bisexual Health: An Introduction and Model Practices for HIV/STI Prevention (published by the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force). She is also the director of the internationally-screened documentary On My Skin/ En Mi Piel, about a biracial transgender man and his family.

A bisexual biracial African American Jew, Amy explores the intersections – and margins – of race, gender, and sexuality, in her work as an author and public speaker. Most frequently asked to speak about her book (and about bisexual identity in general), she has educated thousands of students at over 100 universities, conferences, and organizations, including Harvard, Brown, Rutgers, UCLA, and Stanford Medical School, deepening their understanding of bisexual health, LGBT community, and the future of human sexuality.

Amy’s writing appears in countless publications, including as AlterNet, American Sexuality, The Bilerico Project, Bridges: A Jewish Feminist Journal, ColorLines, Curve, and The Miami Herald. She also has essays in the books Nobody Passes: Rejecting the Rules of Gender and Conformity, Best Sex Writing, LGBTQ America Today, Waking up American: Coming of Age Bi-Culturally, Visible: A Femmethology, Getting Bi: Voices of Bisexuals Around the World, and many more.  

Amy holds a master’s degree in Sexuality Studies, and, as a Point Foundation Scholar, earned an MBA in nonprofit management from the University of California, Berkeley. She lives in San Francisco with her spouse, filmmaker Kami Chisholm, PhD.
