Future+ Fridays | Issue46

The word for 2025 is “Focus” and we are laser-focused on our goals to build our platform and expand our membership, events, experiences and media offerings this year.

This week, our hearts are with our friends and family in LA with the devastating loss of life, land and livelihoods by the wildfires. Many fashion brands have announced their initiatives to support those in need, please do reach out to friends and communities to share any support you can.
