Society has always celebrated heteronormativity, providing straight men and women with access to a wide range of basic and elite products and services.
In contrast, the homosexual market has often been relegated to services provided by non-profit and volunteer-run organizations, subtly implying that we are inferior. The LBT community has been viewed as one that only takes, reliant on handouts from supposedly superior subgroups.
Ámame changes this narrative by empowering lesbian, sapphic, WLW, and queer women. We no longer need to rely on handouts from supposedly superior subcultures and groups. We own the spaces we are building and those yet to come. For the first time, the sapphic community has skin in the game, meaning we are no longer passive recipients but active creators of our own spaces.
By fostering a sense of ownership and empowerment, Ámame is redefining what it means to be part of the LBT community. We are creating a vibrant, self-sustaining ecosystem where sapphic women can connect, thrive, and support each other without the stigma of charity. This marks a significant shift from a community that is perceived as needing help to one that stands strong and self-sufficient.
Ámame is more than just a safe space; it is a movement towards equality, visibility, and respect. Here, we celebrate our identities, our achievements, and our potential. Together, we are not just building spaces; we are building a future where the sapphic community can flourish on its own terms.
