www.MOSTmag.com // CELEBRITY MAGAZINE // 35 or a woman who has portrayed many characters it shouldn%u2019t come as a surprise that Joanna Going isn%u2019t 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%u2019s mission is to eradicate homelessness in the Los Angeles area and beyond. Joanna got involved as a liaison between her daughter%u2019s school and the main shelter, where they provide temporary housing to people on their way to secure a permanent solution. %u201cThis organization 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.%u201d Her daughter%u2019s 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%u2019t 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, %u201cIt was last summer, young Mr. Jonas was telling me that I should go public, and he seems pretty wise with these kind of things.%u201d As the saying goes, %u201cThe rest is history.%u201dAs 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. %u201cIts 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.%u201dF After making her Instagram public and joining Twitter, Joanna began connecting with fans like never before. %u201cThe 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%u2019s a wild experience.%u201d 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%u2019t worry if you don%u2019t 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!
