Blessing Mutamba is a multi award winning speaker, cultural strategist, and founder of Encapsulate Luxury which is a company redefining modern luxury, leadership, and belonging.
Born in Mutare and raised across Ireland, Guernsey, and mainland UK, Blessing brings a globally informed perspective shaped by lived experience of migration, identity, and reinvention.
She draws on this journey to deliver powerful, human centred conversations about confidence, visibility, and inclusive growth. Most notably, she shares her lived experience of overcoming discrimination, racism and systemic barriers and how she has channelled that into the success she has achieved today. She likes to think of herself as the relatable role model she never had when she was younger and brings that to the forefront of every speech, panel or workshop she delivers.
Her most notable workshops during her time in financial services was a Cultural Literacy curriculum she developed. She delivered it to over 1,000 people across 30 global office locations and 80% of the attendees rated it 8/10 and above. Off the back of this, she has also developed a unique 5 step framework to achieve inclusion which enables listeners and audience members to implement some of the tools and techniques she has spent a long time mastering, leaving a lasting impact beyond attending the talk. Drawn from lived experience and established research, this framework is something completely unique to Blessing
With a background in senior roles within UK financial services, Blessing has advised executive teams, non executive directors, and large institutions on cultural intelligence, stakeholder engagement, and colleague experience. Her work has influenced organisational strategy, funding decisions, and leadership capability, combining commercial rigour with deep social insight.
Her impact has been recognised by institutions including King’s College London, Falmouth University, Henley Business School and University of Cambridge and she has been invited to speak at the House of Lords and the House of Commons to share her recommendations and learnings. She is a TEDx speaker, has made television appearances including on Dinner Date, and is a national and international pageant queen with over a decade of experience.
Blessing holds a Masters degree in Entrepreneurship and a First Class Honours degree in Creative Enterprise. She is passionate about innovation, ethnic minority inclusion, and building a legacy that creates opportunity long beyond her own career.
