As you all know, Zohran Mamdani won the NYC mayoral race, which also means New York City will have a new first lady.
Introducing Rama Duwaji.
She’s 28 (born in the late ’90s!).
According to her website, she’s a Syrian animator and illustrator.
She does this monthly series of things that inspire her to make art:
And people on social media seem to be really digging her *vibe*.
But the thing that is blowing people’s minds is how these two met: They met on Hinge.
Zohran told the Bulwark earlier this year, “so there is still hope in those dating apps.”
People are just discovering this revelation, and one tweet about it is going viral: “They met on Hinge and now she’s First Lady of New York,,, keep swiping ladies.”
The reactions to this one are v. funny.
We have, “All I find on Hinge is men who are bald or ‘still figuring it out.'”
“I met my wife on Bumble, going to make her run for Mayor now.”
“God give me the strength (and the luck) to find my person on these damn apps…”
“Just remember this when the 34 year old men have looking for short term relationship open to long term on their profile. ‘Still figuring it out’.”
“Nice try! She took the last of good stock! Stay off there ladies!”
And lastly, “i’m really happy for them but i’m not falling for redownloading hinge propaganda.”
One thing’s for sure: We finally have a mayor who gets that it’s never going to work if you match with someone on the apps who lives in New Jersey…or just, like, the borough next door.
