Michelle Jima is the CMO and co-founder of MM Dating, which is a dating and events tech app for Black people. Their mission is to build lasting relationships and connections within the Black community to foster a sense of togetherness. We talk about what dating is like in the UK and how other dating apps often lack specific insight into cultural nuances and experiences of the African and Caribbean community, such as tribes, language and even Sickle Cell Anaemia. Michelle explains the differences between online dating, having a personal matchmaker and real-life events. She gives her perspective on how technology affects our perception of choice and how our impatient society affects our ability to be patient and give people a chance to redeem themselves from awkward messages.
