Wanna know more about our guest?
Leanne Yau (she/they)
Leanne Yau founded Poly Philia in November 2020, the largest social media platform dedicated to non-monogamy awareness in Europe. Apart from creating and curating humorous and educational memes, tips, resources, and other content on social media. She also created the #PolyamoryTipoftheDay series, narrated several polyamory audiobooks, and provides private peer support to non-monogamous individuals and couples across the globe.
Leanne’s work is influenced by her own experiences as a Gen Z bisexual, autistic, and Chinese non-binary woman, and she hopes to bring visibility and representation to these intersectional identities. She has been actively non-monogamous since 2016. She has appeared on several polyamory podcasts, been interviewed by the BBC, and appeared on national television to advocate for non-monogamous relationships. Willow Smith, a prominent artist who is openly polyamorous, regularly shares Leanne’s posts to her millions of followers.
Leanne uses her viral memes to raise awareness about polyamory and educate others in a down-to-earth and entertaining way, as well as to create a supportive community for people to bond over their experiences, whether good or bad. She’s definitely not an expert, but loves helping others to explore the lovestyle!
