She is so passionate about raising awareness about this condition. She loves cooking, singing and dancing. She is actually a self taught gourmet chef. In 2008, Kgomotso was diagnosed with endometriosis after she suffered for 15 years. Those 15 years were hell as she was misdiagnosed every time she went to see a Doctor about her period pains. In 2007, she was miraculously blessed with a son. When she had her first laparoscopy in 2008, she was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis. She went through a handful of therapies, surgeries (6 so far), which are still ongoing to this day. This slowed down the progress she had worked so hard for and closed the door on a lot of dreams but God never gave up on her. Near the end of 2014, she started a support group for endometriosis suffers with the idea in mind of helping them with emotional support. In 2016, the Botswana Endometriosis Foundation was legally registered. Kgomotso has done a lot of print media and radio interviews, educating people about endometriosis. She tours the world advocating for endometriosis sufferers.
