Global Love Report (GLR): Hi Anne! What was your career before entering the matchmaking industry?

Anne Day (AD): I used to have my own Branding and Events Company named Real Touch Ventures. I started implementing matchmaking from 2008, while offering corporate events through my company.

GLR: Why did you decide to become a matchmaker?

AD:  I am an only child so I never had the chance to interact with siblings, unlike other people. So, when I started to make friends, I found myself wanting to connect—not just on love but on other aspects of life. If someone approaches me asking for any kind of help, I will do so. People in my community have even nicknamed me Anne Connector.

GLR: Did your perception of what a matchmaker does change after being certified?

AD: Not really, because this is something I’ve been doing for years. I’ve been offering matchmaking as a service for free. But after exploring different services and—and classes—it has opened my eyes that I should do this on a professional level. Connecting people and getting paid for my work.

GLR: What are you looking forward to as a matchmaker?

AD: To perfecting my matchmaking services and becoming a professional [matchmaker].

GLR: And what have you been doing lately as a newly certified matchmaker?

AD:

GLR: Which States do you cover?

AD: I’m based in Seattle, Washington but I cover all States. I’m trying to meet all African singles living in America.

GLR: Do you have any words of advice for people who are still considering if they want to be a matchmaker or not?

AD: My advice is: before you enter this business, have a passion and drive for connecting people.

GLR: Thank you for your time, Anne!
