Side sources credit this relationship to PIQ, (pronounced “peek”), a new online dating app founded by leading Atlanta dentist and reality television star, Dr. Heavenly Kimes of Bravo’s “Married to Medicine”. The dating app was originally launched for a select crowd of friends, colleagues and local singles. Among Dr. Monica’s charity efforts and activities with celebrity foundations, she currently serves as Member Intake Advisor with Dr. Heavenly’s Angels, a monthly mentoring program for young women, ages 18-24. As a friend and a supporter, she was invited to be part of the initial exclusive group of members to debut the app. “People say they want real love, yet hold tight to superficial criteria for choosing who they date. PIQ strips it all away and leaves what really matters - the connection. At the end of the day, you want to be liked for who you are - not for what you have, what you do for a living, or even what you look like. If you’re curious and open enough to give love a real shot, join the PIQ community for an extraordinary mobile dating experience”, says Dr. Heavenly.
The pair is excited to join forces, preparing to launch the website for GX Creatives, announce new products and services, and share their passion for their new romance. The couple will reportedly be each other’s Valentines. Media Contact:
