In 2023 we will sail for the first time with the Boat Parade during Pride Amsterdam. That’s great news!! We are very honored to have been selected and are going to organize an EPIC Pride Boat.
Pleased to meet you, we are Pink Melanin – a safe-space community for Queer women of color with a multicultural background and of different ages. We were founded in 2016, and operate both online and offline. We are a community that connects like-minded people and offer a platform to our target community.
We want to make the world around us more aware of the different forms of gender identity, sexuality and orientation that exist within our community and to break the associated taboos. By organizing various events, we try to make the threshold between queer and non-queer people more accessible and to start the necessary conversations.
Our main goal is to empower our community in this sometimes tough world. We strive for more positive visibility for our target group and where could we do that be better than on the Canal Parade! We want to show the outside world that we are normal people, just like your doctor, teacher, nurses, healthcare worker and most importantly – just like you.
This year’s theme is #WeAreIncluded and to complete that inclusivity we have decided to organize an EPIC BOAT for our wonderful community. Our community has had little or no representation in recent years and we want to change that. Representation aatters! Also within the Queer community.
So if you want to sail with the greatest boat of the Canal Parade, please contact us at [email protected].
