Ep. 2: Joanne Boston - Social Media Maven and Community Organizer on Cultivating Conversations, the Filipino Food Movement, and Gathering an Instagram Following

Hidden Apron Radio

Joanne Boston is a born connector of people especially when it involves food. She started out like most bloggers covering her own dining adventures but moved on to banding people together and providing chefs with the necessary market to test out the menus they’ve always wanted to cook. She’s helped organize massive food festivals in the Bay Area and is now the force behind the Filipino Food Movement and Savor Filipino Instagram accounts which have grown exponentially over a short period of time. No matter the channel, Joanne’s found a way to band people together in the shared art of feasting.

We talk about:
- how to start and grow communities whether online or in-person
- having the confidence to practice your craft despite all the noise on the internet and the dreaded “Comments” section
- leveraging writing and social media to cultivate and democratize dialog
- what Filipino food looks like all around the world
