Nozizwe Consulting

 Nozizwe means Mother of Many Lands, in her mother tongue Xhosa and is the name she was given by her maternal grandmother. The guiding principle of Nozizwe Consulting is to bring different groups together to learn from and celebrate their differences and acknowledge their shared humanity. Her professional experience ranges from being a development consultant in West Africa to being program coordinator for programs on race & gender and gender-based violence in education at the African Gender Institute at the University of Cape Town. She served as program coordinator for the historic Race Relations Institute at Fisk University, and was a part of the Institute's delegation to the World Conference Against Racism in Durban. Rev. Nontombi Naomi Tutu established Nozizwe Consulting in 2004 as a way to put this experience to use especially in situations, outside of large institutions, that are trying to deal with the challenges of living up to their commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion. Through Nozizwe Consulting, she has led Truth and Reconciliation Workshops for groups dealing with different types of conflict, and runs workshops centred on gender and racial equality. She also offers educational and partnership trips to South Africa for groups as varied as high schools, churches, hospices, K-12 teachers, and women's associations. These trips emphasize the opportunities to share our stories and experiences.
