In this episode, we sit down with Tumi, founder of Sounds Of The Diaspora, a global creative collective exploring identity, community, and healing through art, music, and storytelling.
Tumi is not only a cultural organizer and DJ but also a graduate of Oxford and Harvard, where they studied psychology, linguistics, and education. Their journey spans music, mental health advocacy, and reimagining education systems, all while empowering underrepresented voices across borders.
