She is a queer poet/activist who’s work deconstructs the foundations of the current political machine, highlighting issues such as patriarchy, gender norms, white-supremacy, and capitalist culture.
Andrea moved from New Orleans to Colorado in 1999, where she began attending weekly poetry readings at Denver's political hub, The Mercury Café. In a years time she had rushed the scene, making her mark with the 2000 Denver Slam Team at The National Poetry Slam in Providence, Rhode Island. In the same year, Andrea joined Vox Feminista, a multi-passionate performance tribe of radical, political women bent on social change through cultural revolution. She went on to become a four-time Denver Grand Slam Champion.

Andrea proves she's not a one-hit-wonder and that her style is completely her own with this second helping of her witty, heartfelt, passionate, and sometimes downright violent poetry. With topics ranging from love and gender identity, to Iraq and America's nation-wide apathy, there really is something for everyone on this album. Grace, beauty, love, passion, desire, anger, heartache, pain, empathy, humility, activism, and a fierceness that very few poets really dare to show, make When The Bough Breaks an immensely satisfying album, with a lot of heart. It will soon be a favorite in your collection, one that you will want to share with the world, and which will encourage you to dig into your own sense of right, wrong, love, creativity, and beauty.
