Hlubikazi Ntshobane

Hlubikazi Ntshobane, an Exercise Science Specialist, Sports Conditioning Trainer, and Period Poverty Activist. My passion is educating women about what impact some of the menstrual products that we use have on our bodies as well as the environment.

As the founder of Akum Menstrual Cups, she’s on a mission to provide sustainable solutions while giving back to girls in need and helping them stay in school.

She has an unwavering passion for empowering young girls and women through freedom of choice. South Africa needs to explore the impact of menstrual health education and lead in the fight against period taboos.
