Health

The human being has always fascinated Thobile. Through the years of working with different people and being exposed to different ways of life, she has accumulated a vast knowledge base of the human body, spirit and psyche. 

For the last years she has dedicated herself to bringing in some of that knowledge to her home country Eswatini in the form of products and information. She is currently in the process of setting up a more permanent creative production place as well as an online store. The first step of buying land has already been done, if you want to contribute further, please send us an email at hello@theglobalentity.com
