Profile

Tuduetso Tebape is an inspiring Botswana entrepreneur, natural beauty pioneer, and founder of Nubian Seed, a green beauty brand dedicated to creating eco friendly, natural personal care products that celebrate African botanical ingredients and sustainable living. What began in 2014 as a small cottage project making shea butter and African black soap blossomed into a registered business that produces artisan soaps, body scrubs, lip balms, and holistic skincare products, all while placing nature and community at the heart of the brand. Her leadership has earned Nubian Seed national and regional recognition, including awards and program support that have helped scale production and impact.

Tuduetso balances entrepreneurship with nurturing both her family and her community. Her journey, from passion to purpose, reflects resilience, creativity, and deep connection to the Earth, inspiring other women and mothers to pursue sustainable business ideas with heart. Through Nubian Seed she not only champions a greener approach to beauty but also contributes to local employment, skills development, and awareness of natural wellness, embodying the spirit of African mothers driving change in business and beyond.
