Sebabatso Tsaoane
Midwife · Businesswoman · Health Influencer · ActivistBorn in Thaba-Nchu, Free State, Sebabatso Tsaoane is a young impact-driven nurse, women's health advocate, digital influencer and businesswoman widely acclaimed for her passion and innovation in healthcare. Inspired by her personal struggles with reproductive health, she has grown to become one of the leading women's health voices in the world.
She is the founder of Black Woman Arise Women's Health Clinic, a fully black woman-owned health facility established to improve disadvantaged women's access to quality healthcare services, strategically positioned to serve students, young professionals and older women at affordable rates.
Her foundation's flagship project is the cervical cancer awareness project run in collaboration with the Free State health department — increasing cervical cancer screening in rural communities, and educating leaders across the traditional, religious and political spectrum.
Tsaoane's innovative outlook earned her NPO funding and mentorship from the Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) Foundation, through which she has set up mobile clinics providing sexual reproductive health treatment, education and care in far-flung areas. She holds a Master's degree in Nursing from the University of the Free State, where she was appointed as a Midwifery Lecturer and Practical Coordinator.
