She’s a Jane of all trades, best known for being a DJ, photographer and model with LOVELY curly hair

DJ Don’t Touch My Hair joined the Lovin Dubai show and shared her feelings on manifesting your future self and having a strong sense of belief in who you want to be.

Tumi is Afro-Arabian with Omani and Zanzibari roots and has a strong vision of her future self.

‘By any means necessary, I’m gonna be her’

Like many Dubai residents, her journey started in her home country Oman and she moved solely to the UAE to study. She fell in love with the city of opportunity and has continued her journey here for the last 11 years, going from fashion photographer to DJ and the occasional modeling shoot.
