About Togetherhood
Togetherhood is a free app for starting walks with your neighbors, friends, and community, anywhere.
I'm Joy Manglani, and I live in Oakland. I've worked in nonprofit IT and software, and I studied both computer science and filmmaking. Along the way I've built unintentional communities in Oakland, Sydney and Bombay, and at the companies I've worked at.
I started Togetherhood because knowing my neighbors once saved my life during an emergency. And when I moved, I wanted to get to know more neighbors, especially to go for walks after dark. Walking outside with others makes neighborhoods safer and healthier, and loving your neighbor turns out to be an easy way to practice loving yourself. Togetherhood makes it simple for anyone to start.
I co-host Togetherhood's weekly Tuesday walk in Temescal with Bridgette.
