I’m Judith Hernandez, the founder and CCO of Media Naranja, and I created this space because I know firsthand how frustrating modern dating can be. I wanted to build something different—a fun, intentional, and inclusive way for singles to meet beyond the apps. Since launching in July 2023, I’ve been curating in-person events where real connections happen and people can feel seen, valued, and excited about dating again.
My mission?
To bring a little more love (and a lot more fun) into Chicago’s dating scene—because everyone deserves a love story that’s as vibrant as they are!
