Талқылауға үйренбеген тақырыпта сөйлесуден қорқудың қажеті жоқ, себебі әңгімелесу — ақпарат алмасу, тіпті білім беру жолы болып табылады. Бұл YouTube-те қазақ тілінде «Жабық тақырып» атты каналды жүргізетін журналист Әсел Ергешқызының пікірі. Оның мақсаты — қазақстандықтардың жыныстық сауаттылығын арттыру. Жыныстық қатынас тақырыбы әрдайым өзекті болатынына қарамастан, бұл туралы ақпарат кеңістігінде ашық айтудың қажеті жоқ деп санайды көпшілік, бұл «Ұят». Адамдар бұл туралы сөз таластыруды жалғастыруда, дегенмен Әсел ойлануға уақыт жұмсамай, жай ғана осы тақырыпта сөйлеуді бастады.

Не нужно бояться говорить о том, что не принято обсуждать, ведь разговор — это обмен информацией и даже форма просвещения. Так считает журналист Асель Ергешқызы, которая ведет на YouTube казахскоязычный канал «Жабық тақырып». Его цель — повышение сексуальной грамотности казахстанцев. При том, что тема секса во все времена актуальна, часто считается, что говорить о ней открыто в информационном пространстве не нужно, что это “Ұят”. Люди продолжают спорить об этом, но Асель не стала тратить время на раздумья и просто начала говорить, к чему призывает и общество.

Имеет многолетний журналистский опыт, помимо развития влога работает шеф-редактором социального ток-шоу на национальном телевизионном канале.

Кто такие хулиганы? Хулиганы — это люди, которые не готовы сидеть смирно и быть послушными, и поэтому их постоянно пытаются пожурить и обуздать. Многие поддаются и становятся “удобными”, и лишь малая часть остается верна своей бунтарской энергии.
Этой неуемной, взрывной, мощной энергии обычно очень много в, так называемых, “трудных подростках” — а значит, именно этот возраст особенно неудобен взрослым «дядям и тетям». Но Лариса Афанасьева уверена, что это самая важная сила — не соглашаться с привычным и задавать вопросы миру. Ведь именно бунтари, в итоге, создают так много важных вещей и именно они способы спасти наш мир.
