CULTURE
KIM FIELDS ISN'T IN IT FOR PROFIT—SHE'S IN IT FOR US
Kim Fields' Refresh By KF, which partnered with AmaWaterways for the Soulful Experience cruise, showed us what wellness travel can be when it refuses capitalism's scripts. No five-figure price tags. No exclusive VIP perks. Just genuine connection, accessible healing, and community that repeats because it actually feeds your spirit.
