The Butch Empowerment Project is an ongoing movement to Empower and Elevate Butch and Masculine of Center People across different gender identities.
Founded in 2019 as the Butch Boudoir Project, our mission was to bring more visibility to Butch people, celebrating their sexuality and identities. The original concept was centered around Boudoir photography and being a 'space' to celebrate the handsomeness and beauty of butches. The project rapidly grew and expanded, we started to include more butches in our photoshoots which led us to create a yearly calendar, t-shirts and apparel, stickers, and more. As we continued to grow and share our story, it became clear that this is much bigger than its original name and concept.
The Project, as we call it behind the scenes, has become a safe space for butch people to see themselves in our stories. It has become a place where we are free from the gatekeeping of our identities, and free to express and expand what butch means to us. It's become a hub for butch products designed with butch folks in mind. It's a place where we elevate each other and celebrate our identities. It's a place where we uplift our community from within and come together to celebrate ourselves.
Welcome to The Butch Empowerment Project.
