Munya Munyati '15: From First Camera to Global Storytelling

Ten years after graduating from LPCUWC, Munya Munyati returned to campus for the Class of 2015 reunion in June — his first time back in Hong Kong since graduation. Originally from Zimbabwe and now based in New York, Munya works as a Live TV Producer at CBS Sports Golazo Network, where he brings global stories to life through sports broadcasting.

“I knew no matter what, I was going to make it back,” Munya shared. “And I’m so glad I did. It’s been an incredible weekend — overwhelming in the best way.”

Where the Story Began

Munya’s journey into media and storytelling began at LPCUWC. “The first time I picked up a camera was here,” he recalled. “My roommate had one lying around, and then another good friend taught me how to use it. What started as a hobby turned into a career.”

Now producing live television for a global sports audience, Munya credits LPCUWC with giving him the foundation to thrive in a fast-paced, multicultural industry. “LPC taught me how to connect with people — not just through language, but through shared experience, empathy, and curiosity.”

Global Citizenship in Action

After graduation, Munya spent a year in the Amazon in Ecuador — without speaking Spanish. “I couldn’t communicate with words, but I learned that communication is more than language,” he said. “It’s the food you share, the gestures, the willingness to listen. LPC prepared me for that.”

He added, “You arrive at LPC from all over the world, and you have to learn how to bring your values to the table while receiving others. That mindset continues into everything I do — especially in storytelling.”

Reunion Reflections

The reunion weekend was filled with reconnection and rediscovery. “Exploring Hong Kong again with close friends felt like our first week at LPC — new sights, old memories,” Munya said. “We hadn’t all been together in nearly 10 years, and it felt like no time had passed.”

One of the standout moments for Munya was the alumni auction. “I’d never done one before, but it was amazing. Everyone brought parts of themselves from around the world to share. We were bidding, yes, but really we were supporting the school that brought us together.”

The weekend wrapped up with a canteen party — a nostalgic nod to student life. “You can’t replicate the feeling,” he said. “The impact these people have on you — it’s special. Really special.”

A Lifelong Connection

With over 60 classmates attending the reunion, Munya was reminded of the strength of the LPCUWC community. “The closeness you develop here is unmatched,” he said. “LPC doesn’t just prepare you for university — it prepares you for the world.”

As he continues to produce live broadcasts and tell stories that resonate across cultures, Munya carries with him the lessons and spirit of LPCUWC. “I’m a storyteller,” he said. “And LPC gave me the stories — and the tools — to tell them.”
