Fikile Mthwalo, founder of Glubbs™, shares her journey from being an actress to becoming an entrepreneur in the sustainable glove industry. GLUBBS are biodegradable disposable examination gloves that break down in 3-5 years, unlike traditional gloves that take 200+ years. Fikile emphasizes the importance of spreading awareness about the toxic materials used in current gloves, such as vinyl, which contains harmful chemicals. She debunks the myth that eco-friendly products are always more expensive and lower in quality. Fikile aims to positively impact the environment and uplift people through her brand and storytelling.
