‘One Love Matchmaking Agency’ (OLMA), the brainchild of Prinny aka Aunty P’, started off as an occasional hobby amongst friends and family.
The original slogan ‘I never thought love would find me again but it did, now all I want to do is help Love find you too!’, was borne out of her becoming a common-law widow at the age of 25yrs, when her childhood sweetheart was in a fatal car crash leaving her with three children aged 5, 3 & 1yr old.
Aunty P’ aspires that Love is its own entity and that when it found her again many years later, she had an overwhelming passion in 2011 to help others open up their door to Love, by being a conduit and an extra pair of eyes on the look out for those too busy with life, to look for love or who had suffered bad experiences on regular dating sites.
She painstakingly and meticulously developed a unique ethos and bespoke service based on what was missing from other dating sites at that time, i.e. an afro-centric, culturally relevant service aimed at providing ‘blind dates’, for straight people of colour, based on integrity, privacy, discretion, I.D verification, personal touch, traditional cultural values and specific dating etiquette. In 2014 she designed and set up the first website and formed the limited company, but just when it seemed that other dating sites were finally catching up with her ethos, she had to forego the business due to personal circumstances. However, the demand was still there and after constantly being asked ‘are you still doing that dating thing?’, she spent 2020 upgrading the website and re-designing the service taking it to a whole new next level by implementing virtual blind dates and inventing events called ‘Musical Speed Dating Zoom Parties’, piloted for Valentines in 2021. The event was so successful it created a demand which will continue, so look out for future events.
