“As we celebrate our 5th anniversary, we are thrilled to announce our first-ever cruise— a vision I’ve had since our launch in 2020,” said Femme It Forward Founder and CEO Heather Lowery. “I have always been bold about what Femme It Forward stands for and the experiences we create with women at the center. And despite the current optics and everything around us demanding we shrink, we will continue to do more— create more opportunities, make space for more representation, and curate more experiences that amplify the voices of women everywhere.”
