Episode 7: Ayo Yetunde

I’m thrilled to present this conversation with Ayo Yetunde, co-editor of Black and Buddhist: What Buddhism Can Teach Us About Race, Resilience, Transformation and Freedom. Ayo and I discuss some of the complexities arising at the intersection of Buddhist principles and the effort to rehabilitate racial trauma. We also discuss her experience in hospice work and a few other things. Ayo is a Community Dharma Leader, Zen student, chaplain, pastoral counselor, and professor, and you can find her at centerforheart.org. For more on her work with The Buddhist Justice Reporter/the George Floyd Trials, go here: https://commongroundmeditation.org/about/supporting-the-center/ As always, feel free to get in touch at [email protected] or on Instagram @sagarbot.
