The Future Is Female S01E12: Chione Hardy
Chione is honestly just THAT GIRL. She’s got it all going for her and I’m a huge supporter of her aspirations! I met Chione last year through a mutual friend (Briggs) on a night out. We got along immediately and basically became friends from there. From vlogging to working with Bettering Education to speaking up…
