Tsungai's bio, in her own words

CMCCF's community writer, Tsungai Muvingi

My name is Tsungai Muvingi. I am the HIFIS Database Coordinator with the Manitoba Association of Women’s Shelters. I am also founder and owner of CourageousMynds, a freelance writing company.

I was born and raised in Zimbabwe where my passion for volunteering and working with organizations to make a difference in communities began. I am a Rotarian with The Rotary Club of Winnipeg where I contribute to the monthly newsletter and support the World Peace Partners & Peace Days Committees, which focus on social justice, peace literacy, and connecting diverse communities.

I recently started writing professionally as a website content writer, blogger and ghostwriter. Most of my work is centered on personal development, mental health and fitness. Through my work in my previous role with The Salvation Army as a Special Events Coordinator, I wrote some of the social media and website stories published in relation to the events I coordinated. With The Rotary Club of Winnipeg, I work on website content for the Peace Days Committee and currently format the club’s monthly newsletter.

In addition, as a Member of Conquer Academy, a performance development coaching program, I write for their social media, and manuals. Conquer Academy’s motto and mission is “Bring more good into the world and help others achieve their best.”

My education includes a B.A. in Psychology, coursework in International Management and coursework in Tableau Data Development.

I love writing stories on people who are setting an example in fighting for their goals and dreams, have a positive impact in the community and are facing diversity challenges head on. Social justice and peace initiatives are areas I am eager to grow my writing impact in.

Purpose

The Purpose of These Peace-First: CollaborationNet Pages These pages exist to share what we have learned. Over the past year, Peace-First: CollaborationNet has operated as a time-limited demonstration initiative, which is a space to test ideas, host conversations, and discover what might grow when peace is placed at the center. Conversations took root in informal Peace-First Hubs across Winnipeg, Thompson, Brandon, and Portage la Prairie, with related gatherings in Vancouver and Toronto. Toronto now helps convene national roundtable conversations, linking local dialogue with a broader Canadian exchange. What began as small, local discussions has become more connected — not through expansion or centralization, but through coherence. Across regions, shared themes, tensions, and hopes are emerging. This webpage documents that journey. It gathers reflections, materials, and learning from Hub conversations so others can understand what has been explored and carry it forward. From the beginning, Peace-First was designed as a seed-planting initiative, formally concluding March 31, 2026. Its focus has been to explore how individuals and cultural communities understand inner peace, collective vision, community cohesion, and cultural dignity and visibility. The Hubs are volunteer-led spaces where community connectors and members gather to listen, reflect, and imagine what a peaceful geographic and cultural community might look like in practice. Along the way, we developed background papers, reflection documents, and practical toolkits shaped by lived experience in Manitoba and beyond. This page now serves as a living repository within the Peace-First Library, offering capacity-building tools, framing papers, hub guidance, and shared learning that communities can adapt to their own realities. The purpose is not to centralize authority, but to make learning accessible. Peace-First Hubs are community-led and partner-supported — grounded in relationship, not hierarchy. Supported by ACOMI, ECCM, Palaver Hut, MIA, cultural community members across the country, and allies such as MANSO, Mediation Services, CanU Canada, and PCHS, this work moves through partnership rather than control. This initiative has been made possible through the principal financial support of the Department of Canadian Heritage, with a supportive role played by The Winnipeg Foundation. Their investment has allowed these conversations, materials, and connections to take shape. These materials are not instructions to replicate. They are tools to adapt. This page is more than documentation. It is an invitation. Peace-First is not about imposing a uniform model. It is about strengthening conditions for dialogue, cohesion, and shared responsibility before a crisis. If this resonates, we invite you to explore further, join a national roundtable call, or consider what it would mean to host or support a conversation in your own community. Join a national roundtable call. Complete the survey. The seeds have been planted. What grows next depends on all of us.
