Why Now Matters: Building Empathy in a World That Wants to Forget
In a world where queer rights are under renewed attack, Queer Reflection explores why building empathy through immersive experience is more urgent than ever.
Queer Reflection: Transforming Understanding Through Immersive Empathy
Queer Reflection is a groundbreaking empathy platform that goes beyond education—offering immersive, emotionally responsive experiences that let users live through the joys, fears, and challenges of LGBTQ+ lives. By bridging the empathy gap through AI-driven storytelling and augmented reality, we’re not just changing minds—we’re rewiring them.
Why I Started Queer Reflection
I didn’t start Queer Reflection to build another platform—I built it because I needed a way to survive the silence, the misunderstanding, and the distance between queer lives and the world’s willingness to feel them. This is more than tech. It’s a love letter, a mirror, and a spark.
