I am Thando Lelo Nkhoma, a mother, creative, storyteller, herbalist, sacred birth advocate and recently qualified doula. I am the founder of Wombniverse SA, a platform that honors birth stories, teaches, and advocates for women during pregnancy and beyond. Being of service is my greatest calling and I dedicate my time to volunteering at public hospitals, working to close critical gaps by supporting mothers with compassion, dignity and care.
Through both community work and creative expression, I continue to hold space for women to feel seen, supported and empowered. Becoming a Mamandla Fellow is both an honor and a powerful affirmation of my commitment to serve women and families. I believe this fellowship offers an opportunity to grow, learn and co-create with women shaping a more just and nurturing world for mothers.
