OUT OF TIBET
Podcast Description
Can you name a Tibetan – besides the Dalai Lama? I guess not (or you're probably Tibetan). Let's change that by representing voices of Tibetans and our friends. Sharing stories of hope, struggle, culture, and belonging — creating a space for Tibetans and for everyone who cares about Tibet.
Since 1950, Tibet has been under Chinese occupation. Today, Tibetans live scattered across the globe in exile. Many of us have never seen our homeland. My name is DAGYAB Namri Songtsen Lhundup, born and raised in Germany by Tibetan parents. Living in Berlin.

In this episode of OUT OF TIBET, Namri Dagyab speaks with scholar and artist Tenzin Mingyur Paldron (DocTenzin) about the powerful intersection of being a Tibetan refugee and a transgender man. Mingyur shares his deeply personal journey—from growing up as an ”outsider” in rural America and daydreaming of Tibetan boys' names, to navigating society with a stutter and facing real-world threats from university staff. The conversation explores the illusion of ”safety,” why understanding the pain of other marginalized communities is crucial, and how a stunning phone call from his mother provided the radical love he needed. Ultimately, Mingyur’s story is a testament to stubborn optimism, radical self-love, and community bridge-building
