or a woman who has portrayed many characters
it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Joanna Going
isn’t just an actress, but is heavily involved with
her community. Joanna takes charge not just in her
roles, but also in her life. For many years now Joanna
has been looking for ways to help her community.
She connected with PATH (People Assisting The
Homeless), an organization who’s mission is to
eradicate homelessness in the Los Angeles area
and beyond.
Joanna got involved as a liaison between her
daughter’s school and the main shelter, where they
provide temporary housing to people on their way
to secure a permanent solution. “This organization
After making her Instagram public and joining Twitter,
Joanna began connecting with fans like never before.
“The live tweeting is a trip that I had to learn fast and
furious. I just got thrown in the deep end with that, but
it’s a wild experience.” Not surprising in the least, Joanna
was grateful to connect with fans who have been gobbling
up the show with such a ferocity. In fact it has rated as
a number one drama on iTunes!
Don’t worry if you don’t have access to DirecTV, you can
find Kingdom on iTunes and now Amazon Instant Video.
But you have to act fast because the next season comes out
this fall! You can catch Joanna and see what all the buzz is
about when Season 2 of Kingdom airs October 14th, 2015!
works on all levels, finds people in the street to get
a bed for the night or working through the organization
to get interim housing.” Her daughter’s school
supported a family, who was moving into
a permanent apartment.
Many of the single people or families moving into
permanent housing from PATH don’t have the
necessary items to fill an apartment; pots and pans,
furniture, food, etc. If you want to join the fight
to eradicate homelessness, please check out www.
epath.org for more information. Joanna credits her
involvement with PATH to advice given to her
by a friend, “It was last summer, young Mr. Jonas
was telling me that I should go public, and he seems
pretty wise with these kind of things.” As the saying
goes, “ The rest is history.”
As Kingdom took off, Joanna joined the social media
world, both hesitant and excited to see what it offered.
She knew that joining social media would both open
a world to connect with her fans, and it would become
a window to the organization she is so passionate
about. “Its kind of surreal. It is really nice to get
the feedback and hear from people. To know that
even with the limited access that the work is coming
across. The immediate reaction was so exciting.”
