Mungi Ngomane

The granddaughter of Archbishop Desmond Tutu and patron of the Tutu Foundation UK, Mungi has never felt that her family forced her to follow in their footsteps but that their hope for justice and human dignity for all was passed down through her genes. She has worked in Middle East conflict resolution and for the advancement of women and girls for some of the world's foremost advocacy organisations and initiatives. She was recently campaign coordinator for a new national and bipartisan campaign, Millions of Conversations, aimed at tackling Islamophobia and discrimination in the US. Since bringing the book Everyday Ubuntu into the world, she has returned to advocacy. She is passionate about human rights, specifically the advancement of women and girls, the protection of refugees and the liberation of the Palestinian people. She hopes one day all girls will have FUNdamental human rights. Mungi has a Master's in International Studies and Diplomacy from the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) at the University of London. She is currently the Senior Business Operations Manager for Impactive, a digital outreach and engagement tool whose mission is to promote voter participation and civic engagement within progressive and Democratic campaigns and organisations.
