She has lobbied for self-governance in nursing in Zimbabwe and taught in an undergraduate distance education program. At the time, she also worked as a nurse leader facilitating improved access to primary health care and integration of mental health, family planning, adolescent reproductive and sexual health, and HIV/AIDS prevention services. Dr. Maposa’s doctoral dissertation examined cultural meanings and sexual experiences of young black African women living in the United States.
