Chess and her guests
Hi, my name is Francesca Victory and I am the creator of the Chess and her guest's podcast. #Chessandherguests will be a series of open and honest discussions based on topics and issues that I think are important, especially those that affect young people in today's society. I want this podcast to be really representative so each show will feature a different guest who either holds a completely different opinion to me or is able to offer different experiences to me. The episodes will cover a range of topics such as whether women should stay natural or opt to cosmetic surgery/enhancement, grief in the young, body positivity, mental health and many, many more. I want my voice to be heard and I hope this podcast will encourage others to use theirs as well. So go ahead and have a listen, I'm sure you will enjoy it....
