Khumoetsile Seamogano Girl Gone Authentic

Khumoetsile Seamogano is a writer, researcher, curator, and custodian of memory based in Botswana. She is the founder of Girl Gone Authentic, a multidisciplinary atelier and editorial platform dedicated to the preservation, documentation, and celebration of craft, ritual, and ancestral knowledge. Through her work, she translates cultural practices and traditions into words, experiences, and objects that linger, bridging heritage and contemporary life with intention and subtlety.

Khumoetsile’s practice spans editorial development, cultural storytelling, archival research, and experiential design. She creates platforms for endangered crafts, forgotten rituals, and sustainable practices, ensuring that they are visible, meaningful, and resonant for today. Her work engages deeply with artisans, designers, and cultural practitioners, fostering communities that honor tradition while inviting reflection, dialogue, and innovation.

Prior to founding Girl Gone Authentic, Khumoetsile gained extensive experience in Southeast Asia and beyond, shaping startup teams, leading digital marketing and content strategy, and developing platforms for visibility and growth in high-paced, high-growth contexts. This foundation informs her approach to GGA, where editorial precision, thoughtful curation, and experiential storytelling converge.

In addition to her editorial and curatorial work, Khumoetsile designs ethical, sustainable objects that reflect a respect for traditional craftsmanship and a commitment to intentional living. Her creations, whether jewelry, publications, or curated experiences, embody quiet luxury, restraint, and the enduring beauty of heritage.

Through Girl Gone Authentic, Khumoetsile Seamogano offers a space for reflection, preservation, and creativity, inviting audiences to move gently through the earth and intentionally through life.
