Who I am:

Always a west coast gal, Amy has happily called Portland home for three years. After graduating with a B.A. in English, focusing on feminism in literature, Amy traveled the coast making stops to work at a publisher of health promotional pamphlets (Santa Cruz, CA), have a baby and work at a coffee company (San Francisco, CA), start a card and t-shirt business (Seattle, WA), and work/volunteer for a number of nonprofit organizations, most recently in the queer arena (Seattle and Portland). Amy came to B-Word/Bitch in May 2007 after working at Equity Foundation, a foundation granting to queer, under-served and non-traditional organizations, to coordinate fund development and outreach efforts and has since evolved to do organizational development and financial management as well.

As a self-proclaimed nonprofit junkie, Amy currently serves on the Board of a domestic violence organization in Portland and volunteers her time supporting a variety of organizations in the area, such as Q Doc, the country's first Queer Documentary Film Festival.

Amy believes that nonprofit organizations don't have to lose their politics to grow and expand and also believes a goal of many nonprofits should be to work themselves out of a job, because that means you've achieved your mission. Amy lives in SE Portland with her family and loves to cook, read, hike, play cards, and go to the movies.

Favorite color: chartreuse or chocolate brown or tangerine

Turn-ons: well-read, outspoken, good hearts, good hair

Turnoffs: greed, apathy, intellectuals with attitude

Celebrity crush: Mary Stuart Masterson

Secretly wishes she were a: tap dancer

What I'm reading:

Favorite books: Fried Green Tomatoes At the Whistle Stop Café, All Men are Mortal, Kite Runner, Age of Innocence

What I'm listening to:

Favorite album: Michael Jackson, Thriller

What I'm watching:

Favorite movies: Auntie Mame, my cousin vinnie, pillow talk, raise the red lantern

What blogs I like:
Let me think about it.

sm{art} needs art!

B-sides blog post by Amy S. Williams, October 1, 2008 - 9:25am; tagged art, artists, events, Judy Chicago, sm{art}, support.

In just 25 days, B-Word is not only bringing Judy Chicago out to Portland for our art auction - we are also planning a pretty kick-ass event that isn't your typical auction. We can have all the fantastic entertainment, stellar goodie bags, great local beer and food, and the best host{ess} around, but in order to raise the dollars we need to support Bitch, we need ART!!!

I ♥ Sarah Waters

B-sides blog post by Amy S. Williams, August 22, 2008 - 4:26pm; tagged books, celebrities, lesbian, movies, pop culture, queer.

I felt very much out of the lezzie-loop yesterday when I found out that Sarah Waters' second novel, Affinity, has been made into a movie and was the opening night film at Frameline this summer.
