 Why is it that we stumble when we discuss sexuality? It should be a joyous topic rather than one fraught with shame, confusion, and invisibility. Even as we get more shows and movies attempting to tackle stigmas around sexuality and identity, non-white and immigrant communities are often left out of this representation. My today's guest, Dr. Varuna Srinivasan, a sexual health professional, and queer advocate, is switching up the narrative.   She is the founder of Tara Health Media, an online resource for sexual education that emphasizes intersectional and inclusive knowledge. She has also written articles for Parents, Well and Good, Inverse, The Lily, Allure, and Health, where she covers everything from her coming-out journey to anti-racism in sex education.   Join the conversation: Instagram @immigrantlypod | Twitter @immigrantly_pod |  Please share the love and leave us a review to help more people find us!
