Unsilenced: Voices of Young Tibetans - S3 Ep4- Conversation with Tenzin Pema la.
Tenzin Pema la who fought and raised the Tibetan national flag, drew thousands of Tibetans at the Matrix Fight Night (MFN)14 in Noida, India.
She shares with us her journey from a young girl growing up in the Himalayas and how drawing inspiration from the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali she embarked on a remarkable journey into the realm of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA).
She illuminates the day-to-day challenges she encounters, underscoring the rigorous training regimen essential for achieving excellence in this sport. She articulates her aspiration to not only represent Tibetans on the international stage but also to contribute to the betterment of the Tibetan community by imparting her expertise in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) through comprehensive training programs.
Unsilenced: Voices of Young Tibetans is an audio and video podcast presented by the Foundation for Non-Violent Alternatives (FNVA) and hosted by our Research Associate Tenzing Dhamdul. Unlike Tibetans who were able to escape the clutches of Chinese communist authoritarian rule, those who are still under their occupation do not have the voice to express themselves, and ironically those who are empowered, concerned and courageous to express themselves in Tibet are met with the harsh might of CCP's retribution, with many simply disappearing and rendered silent. This podcast is a tribute to all those brave Tibetans.
Our conversations with young Tibetans will offer an interesting view of their lives in exile, their future aspiration for Tibet and give them a platform through which they can freely express themselves and in many ways decide their own Future.
Disclaimer: This Video was recorded on 12th March, 2024 during the Tibetan Women's Uprising Day.

With unrelenting determination, Pema la, overcame obstacles on her path to becoming a professional MMA fighter. She proudly showcased her Tibetanness and inspired hope by hoisting the Tibetan national flag at an international event on March 9, 2024. Tenzin Pema is an inspiration for Tibetan youths especially women. I salute her for her unwavering commitment to the Tibetan cause. We will continue to support her.

[@Abhishek-lk2pb]

please make one video on namkyi , a 24 yr old Tibetan who fled from china occupied tibet into india. Many interviews are there on KZbin but they are all in tibetan so it's not possible for non-Tibetans to understand her.

[@forfnva]

Thank you for your valuable suggestions we are currently definitely look into it.

[@TashiPassion]

She is Real National player. CTA wasted so much money on Soccer , now it's time to help all fighters to grow further and reach the next level. After so many years of funding football , there is no one player we can say that we have a player in ISL
