A private matchmaking community for young Africans in the diaspora
21230

Meet with intention.

You've worked hard for the life you have. Meeting someone who shares your culture and takes relationships as seriously as you do shouldn't be the hardest part of it. 21230 is a better way to meet people who get the jokes without you having to explain them.

Aunty Flaky, host of 21230

Hosted by Aunty Flaky. She asks the questions your friends are too polite to ask.

Who is Aunty Flaky?

I'm a Gen X auntie, a registered social worker and a mother who has raised children from nappies all the way to adulthood. I have lived through marriage and family life, so I know what it takes to build something, and I know what it looks like when something isn't working.

I'm not here to force old expectations onto a new generation. I'm here because choosing the person you build your life with matters, and young people deserve a better way to meet others who want the same thing.

I'm Nigerian, so that's the community I know best, and it's where most of our members come from. Africans from anywhere in the diaspora are welcome here. Wherever home is, the questions are the same.

Every application is reviewed by hand, and nobody is swiping through strangers.

21230 is for young Africans aged 21 to 30 living abroad, in London, Dublin, Toronto, Houston and wherever else the diaspora has landed. It is for people who are open to something serious and want to meet someone who understands where they come from.

This isn't a dating app. Every applicant is reviewed personally and we check what we reasonably can before anyone is introduced. Nothing is ever posted publicly without your consent, and no one sees your information until you've both said yes.

How it works

01

Apply

Fill in a private questionnaire covering who you are, what you're looking for, and what actually matters to you in a partner.

02

Review

Aunty Flaky and her team review your profile personally.

03

Verify

A short private video call helps us confirm that you are who you appear to be, and gives us the chance to ask a few more questions. Being single is something you declare to us.

04

Match

You're introduced only once both sides are interested, and never before that.

05

It's yours from here

21230 creates the introduction. You create the relationship.

Applications are open to the first 100 members. There's no shame in wanting help to widen your circle.
