About Mungi

Mungi Ngomane is an author, advocate, and strategist whose work is rooted in the African philosophy of Ubuntu — the belief that our humanity is bound together. She brings this ethos to every facet of her life and career, from international peacebuilding and women’s rights advocacy to organisational leadership and cross-cultural collaboration. She is also the granddaughter of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and continues his legacy of justice with her own distinct voice and vision.

As the author of Everyday Ubuntu, translated into 16 languages, and former host of the "Everyday Ubuntu" podcast, Mungi has sparked global conversations around empathy, justice, and shared humanity. Her work has focused on advancing human rights, Middle East peace, and the empowerment of women and girls in partnership with international organisations, campaigns, and communities.

Drawing from her experience in NGOs, startups, and global consultancies, Mungi combines sharp strategic acumen with a deep commitment to mission-driven impact. Her experience includes scaling digital tools for civic engagement at Impactive during the 2020 U.S. election, coordinating the Millions of Conversations campaign to combat Islamophobia, and advising international organisations such as the Ocean Risk and Resilience Action Alliance

Currently the Founder and Principal of NXN Global LLC and most recently Senior Associate at Banff Advisors, she advises high-level leaders and organisations on strategy, communication, and operations — helping them scale their influence and deepen their impact. She also serves as Patron of the Tutu Foundation UK and previously sat on the board of the Desmond and Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation.

Mungi holds a Master's in International Studies and Diplomacy from SOAS, University of London, and a BA in International Studies from American University in Washington, DC.

Whether through advocacy, consulting, or storytelling, Mungi’s work is grounded in one belief: that together, we can achieve more than we ever could alone.
