Under the Sisterhood
From childhood to today: Muji Becksomson on the journey of mental wellness
Today we’re getting under the hood with Muji Bekomson a daughter, sister, women’s advocate and a founder, a thinker, and a woman on a mission to make women’s health feel like it was designed for humans, not tech manuals or fine print. As a medical laboratory scientist, Muji has spent time in hospital labs and life observing a frustrating truth; women’s healthcare was built to be cold, complicated, and dismissive. She didn’t just notice it, she decided to rewrite it.
Her mission is deeply personal. Muji knows what it feels like to be dismissed by a doctor, to have concerns brushed off, and to walk out of a clinic feeling unseen and unheard. That experience stayed with her and became a driving force behind FEMME, shaping her approach to designing health support that actually listens, validates, and stands by women in real moments.
As the founder of the FEMME Health Companion, Muji is creating a system that’s modular, frictionless, and unapologetically human. From daily support for PMS and burnout to helping women navigate hormones without judgment or overwhelm, FEMME is designed to stand by women in the messy, real, everyday moments. Her work isn’t about gimmicks or buzzwords but about clarity, solidarity, and the quiet power of saying, “We get you.”
Muji’s work has earned her recognition as a Top 50 Voice in African Tech and a SheLeadsAfrica 50 Under 30 Rising Motherland Mogul, but she measures success in lived moments; the women who feel less alone, more seen, and finally supported.
She’s building a movement that proves health innovation can be personal, accessible, and rooted in humanity. Her work reflects a blend of scientific rigor, lived experience, and a refusal to accept the status quo, because she knows that health support isn’t a luxury, it’s a daily lifeline.
