TARSHI’s platform featuring writing on sexuality: We work towards cultivating safe, inclusive, and self-affirming spaces in which all individuals can express themselves without fear, judgement or shame.
But self-care is not a clean and happy procedure, it is not definitively achievable when systematically explored.
