The SheHH podcast is a podcast series all about Christian women in the front and behind the scenes of Christian music all over the world. The name is a play on the phrase CHH, which stands for Christian Hip Hop, but SheHH is for all genres (and all women!) within Christian music.  

Welcome to Series two, which is themed the Gritty Truths. We're speaking to amazing women and learning more about the realities of being called into music ministry, especially as a woman.  

In our final episode of this series, we speak to the amazingly talented Canadian singer-songwriter and visual artist Jaimie Poon. She talks about God tricking her into her music career, discovering her specific sound and finding healing after overcoming an eating disorder. Jaimie was the perfect guest to close out this series of SheHH!
