Andrea Mays

Andrea Mays is a writer and nomad. With a BA in Film Studies from Carleton University, Ottawa, and an almost full passport, she comes from teaching, film festivals, indie film, and Sundance Collab. Born to Trinidadian and Filipino immigrants in the 70s, she writes across genres, exploring identity, intergenerational trauma, abuse, lost love, tainted freedom, and the supernatural.

With a self-published book of poems ‘grit and grace’ in Canada, personal essay ‘Suckers’ in the UK journal Lesions, and ‘shrine’ published in the theatre anthology In Full Color in the US, there are no limits in writing- or travel. She currently lives near the airport in Toronto, conjuring memoirs, and uncovering shapeshifters.
