A NEW, AFRICAN-CENTERED DATING MODEL REVOLUTIONIZES THE MATCH-MAKING INDUSTRY FOR BLACK SINGLES
"We have decided to do something ground-breaking," says Find Black Love co-organizer, Nataki Kambon, who is from the Washington DC Metro area. "It has been time for a new paradigm in terms of how Black love and relationships are approached, especially for those of us in the Diaspora... for those of us that have that knowledge of self and want to see it reflected in those that we meet, it's been long overdue," says Kambon.
Find Black Love was conceived shortly after Kambon returned from attending the Sankofa Journey in Ghana during the Summer of 2018. She returned inspired about her culture but felt frustrated with dating events that either felt too serious or did not have potential partners that shared her values and beliefs. That's when Kambon set out to create a Black love website that could help those seeking to pursue marriage. After convening Black singles and married elders around the country, Find Black Love's concept changed from a web-based platform to an in-person event. Pioneering in the match-making industry, the event is purposely gender-balanced, African-centered, and features activities that inspire cultural appreciation, self-love, and positive healing between Black men and Black women.
