Tired of swiping and ready to start vibing?
Our events are all about bringing Chicago’s most fun, flirty, and fabulous singles together IRL! Our events are designed to foster genuine connections within a vibrant and diverse community. Say goodbye to boring dates and hello to a fun, exciting way of meeting interesting Latino and Latina singles because dating should be experienced in person, not something you text.
I’m Judith Hernandez, the founder and CCO of Media Naranja. I created this platform because I’ve experienced how frustrating modern dating can be. But I also believe that if you truly want something, you can make it happen— that’s why I set out to build something different: a fun, intentional, and friendly way for singles to meet beyond the apps. Since launching in July 2023, I’ve been curating in-person events where real connections spark, and people feel seen, valued, and genuinely excited about dating again.
My mission?
To encourage you to own your confidence, take a chance, and put yourself out there—because your love story starts when you do.
