This week I speak with my long-time friend, Azam Ansari, to discuss his Muslim upbringing in the suburbs of Washington, DC. Azam reflects on how he navigated the post-September 11th world as a middle school student using humor, and how his faith has fluctuated through the years.
He touches on the perks of being the youngest child and how giving back to local families in need has nourished the sense of community he cherished as a child.
