Kabuika Kamunga is a journalist, an author, an angel investor entrepreneur and a healer. Raised in the rainforests of the Democratic Republic of Congo, she is driven by a profound question: How do we build truly life-sustaining systems? where people can thrive, not just survive, and where healing replaces suffering.And for that, we must start with the self and all the resources we have at our disposal: our cultural heritage. Kabuika decided to take a deep dive into the knowledge that emanates from the birth of humanity: Africa. She learned the ancient African codes of life. She uses that knowledge to transform communities by reconnecting them with their roots and the natural world. She is the author of two children’s books: “I Used to Be Afraid of Animals” and “Kabuika Wants to Make New Friends.” She will be publishing in May translations of the book, “Kabuika Wants to Make New Friends,” which teaches children about diversity by sharing their cultural identity and their family tree. She works with professionals of African descent who, despite significant incomes, struggle to build an abundant life due to a disconnect from their ancestral wisdom, a reliance on outdated Western financial models that prioritize material accumulation over holistic well-being, and a lack of access to culturally and spiritually aligned financial strategies that empower them to leverage their unique strengths and values, and empower their holistic well-being.
