African Women Entrepreneurs Are Taking Wellness Businesses Global

South African women are using entrepreneurship, community and network-powered business models to build new opportunities beyond traditional markets.

As conversations around women’s economic participation and entrepreneurship take center stage worldwide, a group of South African entrepreneurs is turning its attention beyond the country’s borders, exploring how an African wellness business can create new opportunities for people across the continent and internationally.

Take Mamas Flat Stomach Tea (FST), a South African wellness and lifestyle brand built around the belief that wellness should be accessible, practical and rooted in the power of nature. The brand’s vision is to become a leading wellness and lifestyle brand in South Africa and beyond geographical boundaries.

As more people seek alternative pathways into entrepreneurship, these women believe the next generation of African business growth may increasingly be built not only in boardrooms, but through the power of networks, collaboration and the willingness to think beyond borders.
