Bronte is based in Cape Town and has experience in the non-profit sector with sexual, reproductive and maternal health. Having recently completed a Master of Public Health, her academic research explored delivery and uptake of vaccines during pregnancy.
From her experience as a childbirth companion for birth and postpartum support at a local secondary hospital, Bronte’s passion is to support and empower young first-time mothers.
As a Mamandla fellow, she hopes to contribute to Embrace’s work for changing the narrative around teenage pregnancy and obstetric violence in South Africa, to join and learn from a powerful network of women working towards dignified pregnancy, birth and postpartum experiences and ultimately, to make health systems work better for mothers!
