34F, US
Hi! I’m 34, turning 35 soon. Nigerian by origin (so, black), 5”3 and weigh about 160 lbs. I’m not as brave as others posting their pictures (what if someone I know is on here?! lol) so if interested, DM me and I’ll bless you with my face. 😁
Area of study/work:
Career wise I’m a data scientist and have worked in tech for about 10 years but I’m actively looking to switch into the international development space. I got a masters in that and being Christian and Nigerian, it’s always been hard for me to ignore inequality and so I’m finally taking the leap and looking to put my skills towards bettering the world in some way.
Hobbies/interests:
I love reading, although these days it’s usually when I’m on the go. I also write. A lot. I’m working on a novel and two screen plays. I paint, mostly acrylic but I also love working with mixed media and I crochet and dabble in other crafts. I love traveling (I know everyone says this) but my family lived in a lot of places while I was growing up so I genuinely love going to new places, meeting people and learning from different cultures. If I’m not doing any of these things though, I’m usually chatting with a friend or watching a show or lying in bed, probably overthinking haha.
My Christian journey:
I grew Charismatic, my father was a pastor in Nigeria and other countries we lived in but as I’ve matured more in my faith and through facing some difficult life circumstances, I’ve started leaning more towards Evangelical Reform. I’m a Bible nerd and love talking scriptures so I really appreciate churches that take on a more verse by verse approach to teaching but I know God speaks to us in as many ways as He chooses so I don’t look down on other denominations. I deeply rely on God, this is not to say that I’m perfect or a good Christian all the time, but I rely on him for the little little things and the really big things. I try to study his word, not just to know it but to use it to shape how I live. I also wrestle with the word a lot and ask the Holy Spirit for help often. I’ve tried a life without Jesus and it didn’t go well so I can’t imagine living without Him now.
What sort of person am I looking for?
I’m looking for someone who genuinely loves God and can’t imagine a life without Him. Someone who geeks out on the Bible too would be great and who prays as easily as they breathe. I’m looking for someone whose denomination is around the reform - somewhere in the middle of orthodox Protestant and Charismatic, if that makes sense.
I’d love to be with a man that has a global mindset and is comfortable being around all kinds of people regardless of race or religion. Someone who is kind, humble, driven in whatever they do and has a growth mindset. I don’t really care much about looks (of-course attraction has to be there lol) but the physical shape doesn’t matter to me.
Age range:
33 - 45
Would I be willing to do long distance/relocate?
Yes I’m willing to do a LDR or relocate within the US.
This was long, but I tried to be as authentic as possible. If you made it this far and want to say hi, feel free to pop in my DMs 😊
