The Lion’s Roar Podcast: Black Male Vulnerability in Buddhist Community

by | May 3, 2022

This episode of The Lion’s Roar Podcast features Willie Mukei Shoman Smith, SoOn Eli Brown-Stevenson, and Malik (MaLLy) Watkins.

Black, male-identified people have experiences in Buddhist communities that are markedly different than that of the majority – not only physically standing out in the group but facing unique internal questions and struggles. Willie Mukei Shoman Smith, SoOn Eli Brown-Stevenson, and Malik (MaLLy) Watkins talk to Lion’s Roar’s Pamela Ayo Yetunde about how they deal with inhabiting white spaces in the Buddhist context, and what white sanghas can do to be helpful.
