Why Love Island and Why Now?

“The pool in Portsmouth is not giving,” Mimii candidly admits. “I’ve tried dating, speaking to people on social media, and it just hasn’t been successful. Applying was a spontaneous thing; I didn’t expect to get here!”

What Will Mimii Bring to the Villa?

“I’m a girls’ girl,” Mimii emphasizes. “My girls are my rocks, and I’m theirs, so I’ll be a good friend as well as going in there to find a man. I like dressing up, so I’ll bring style, and I’d like to think I’m quite funny, so I’ll make people laugh. Bringing honesty as well—I’m good at picking up on people’s personality traits and side-eyeing those who might be a liar.”

What Makes Mimii a Catch?

Confident in her self-worth, Mimii states, “I’m a good-looking girl, I know what I bring to the table. I carry myself well. I’m a bit of a wife—I like to take care of my man, cook for him, do his hair, give him massages, check in on him.”

Something Islanders Should Know About Mimii?

“I just have resting b**** face,” she clarifies. “It doesn’t mean I’m upset, I’m not angry, I’m just chilling. It is just my face.”

Why is Mimii Single?

“The right man hasn’t come about yet. I haven’t met my man yet,” she reflects.

How Would Friends and Family Describe Mimii?

“Loving, supportive, considerate, empathetic, loyal, and I’ve got a big heart!”

Top Three Qualities Mimii Looks for in a Partner

A Hidden Talent

Dream Celebrity Villa Mates
