Ep 147: Jojo Siwa

JoJo Siwa who has truly done it all since she rose to fame at just 11 years old in the reality TV show, Dance Moms. Since then JoJo has gone on to sell over 90 million hair bows as part of a billion dollar empire, had her own Nickelodeon show, launched a hugely successful YouTube channel, notch up billions of views and music streams and became the youngest person to sell out the O2 arena.  As JoJo prepares to go back on tour in October with new music she joins to have a very honest chat about her identity and her sexuality after she came out in 17 and recently formed a romantic relationship with Chris Hughes on Celebrity Big Brother UK.  This chat is filled with honesty and I hope this shows you that no matter how you identify that no one has the right to your identity and you should live your life for you and on your terms. If you enjoy listening to JoJo’s story, get in touch as I always love chatting to you and you can find me @joshsmithhosts across socials. Love, Josh x P.S.

Om Podcasten

Hi babes! I’m Josh Smith and welcome to Reign! I am a journalist and presenter, and in each episode of my podcast, you’ll hear me sit down with some favourite familiar faces to talk about the ways they have learnt to reign over their own lives.    I’m so lucky to have chatted to stars from the big and small screens, from sport to music and beyond, and in every conversation there’s one thing that is apparent: we will ALL have to deal with challenges at some point in our lives. The conversations we have on Reign show that we're all more similar than we are different, and what I love most is finding out how different people get through tough times, go on to turn negatives into positives, and share the lessons that we can all learn from! I also love a good giggle, and this podcast is full of them!    So thanks so much for being here, I am so happy to have you, and I hope you’re ready to feel uplifted, inspired, and you’re ready to make it Reign!    Love, Josh xx
