Whether you’re a business owner, a leader with an advocacy, or an
enthusiast who wants to gather like-minded people with shared
interests, seek support, opportunities for growth, or even create
social change, building a community can become a highly rewarding
asset as well as a way to change the world for the better.

Laid off at the start of the pandemic, the former advertising
executive-turned-homebody put up a Facebook group called Home
Buddies. In three years, it has exploded to become the largest FB
community in the Asia-Pacific region (excluding India), with a
community of 3.2 million online “neighbors” or kapitbahays, and
won $80,000 in funding from Meta’s Facebook’s 2021 Community
Accelerator Program, besting 13,000 other applicants. Her new
group Hangout Buddies, “a travel and tambay community,” now has
210,000 members.

Frances shares her inspiring story of passion, creativity, and
resilience, her mission to promote inclusivity and improve lives,
plus valuable insights and tips for wannabe community builders.
