Ches
My name is Chesu Bowa (a.k.a Ches ;) ), and I am a content writer. My passion for writing began in my room journaling and songwriting when I was about 9 years old. Since then, I have been blessed to work on two projects for Buzzfeed Canada, as well as start my own writing page dedicated to poems, life experiences and much more. I studied Canadian Literature, Philosophy Through Film, Diversity and Inclusion and Communication Strategies at Niagara College for 2 years which make up my associate degree in Liberal Arts and Science. Currently, I work as an educational program writer at the YMCA and a blog contributor for Maple Life TV.
Above all, I am just a pawn, and here's my play on words.
