Hello and welcome to Season 2 of The Cheer Up Luv Podcast, hosted by Eliza Hatch! This week I am speaking to someone I have been keen to speak to for a while now,  asexuality activist and model Yasmin Benoit. Yasmin is the creator of #ThisIsWhatAsexualLooksLike campaign, which aims to amplify the voices of asexual people and give them the platform and agency to represent themselves. In this episode we speak about the common misconceptions of what it means to be asexual, asexuality misrepresentation in the media, and dealing with online abuse.

Hello and welcome to SEASON 2 of The Cheer Up Luv Podcast hosted by Eliza Hatch. I am so excited to introduce our first guest of the season to you, it's none other than the legendary Megan Barton Hanson!! Many of you will know Megan from when she rose to fame in 2018, appearing on the hit reality tv show, Love Island. Since then, like many others, I have admired her for speaking out publicly about mental health, sex positivity and for calling out the double standards that society holds for men and women.

In this episode we speak about sexist press coverage, slut shaming,  transparency on social media, and the "anything goes" zone of bars and clubs. 

You can find Megan on Instagram here @meganbartonhanson_ and Megan's new podcast here.

*Trigger Warning* We will be discussing a story of sexual harassment towards the end of the episode.

Hello and welcome to the Cheer Up Luv Podcast, hosted by Eliza Hatch.  This is the last episode of Season 1! Can you believe it? To round this season off, this week I'm having a fascinating chat with a woman whose work I have been admiring online for a while now, the incredible Deeba Syed. Deeba is a political activist, women's rights advocate and Sexual Harassment Lawyer. As well as being a qualified lawyer, Deeba works with Rights of Women, and in 2019 set up a free employment law advice line for women experiencing sexual harassment in the workplace. In this episode we speak about exactly this, knowing your rights when it comes to harassment in the workplace, the murky world of non disclosure agreements and you guessed it, misogyny.

*Trigger Warning* We will be discussing themes surrounding workplace harassment, and towards the end of the episode we will read out an  experience of sexual harassment.

Hello and welcome to the Cheer Up Luv Podcast, hosted by Eliza Hatch.  This week I am having a really candid talk with a very special friend of  mine, the incredibly talented artist Faye Wei Wei. I have known Faye  since we were about 13, when we used to hang out in dodgy skate parks  and drink panda pops (throwback). These days, I often walk into magazine  shops just to flick through and see how many publications I can find  her in. I am constantly amazed by how successful she has become, and how  incredibly beautiful her paintings are. In this episode, we speak about  the importance of role models, sexism in the art industry, reductive  stereotypes, and shame. To follow the brilliant work Faye is doing,  check out her Instagram here: @fayeweiwei

*Trigger Warning* We will be discussing themes surrounding racial harassment, and towards the end of the episode we will read out an experience of sexual harassment.
