I am a co-founder of TendHer, a maternal and women’s health technology venture being developed around the experiences of African women.
Pregnancy and early motherhood are deeply personal. The vision for TendHer is to help women feel understood, with support that recognises their stage of life, cultural context, family relationships and everyday realities.
The planned experience combines education tailored to each stage of the journey with emotional wellbeing support, a peer community and AI-supported personalisation. It is designed to support women from trying to conceive through pregnancy and the postnatal period.
My involvement reflects my passion for maternal and child health and my work in healthcare management. I want the experiences and needs of women and families to remain at the centre of what we build.
