Azhar Usman believes in (the) Truth

from Modern Minorities · host W!ZARD Studios

“Who controls the rhythm of the algorithm?”Azhar Usman is a Muslim American writer, actor, comedian, producer - and many other things - of Indian descent (by way of Chicago). Dave Chappelle once declared, “Azhar’s like a comedian from the future.” One of the most outspoken voices of his generation, Azhar’s a writer & Co-Executive Producer for Hulu’s award-winning RAMI (stop what you’re doing and watch this show NOW). Marvel Studios recently also announced that Azhar would be joining the MCU in the highly anticipated Disney+ show MS.MARVEL (Raman fan-girls over the comic it’s based on). Azhar’s worked on comedic projects for Netflix, Hannibal Buress, Mo Amer, and Hasan Minhaj (Azhar served as a writer for Minhaj’s epic 2017 White House Correspondents Dinner speech). Azhar co-created ‘ALLAH MADE ME FUNNY–The Official Muslim Comedy Tour’ (which toured 20+ countries across 5 continents), toured India for the US State Department as part of “Make Chai Not War”, was named one of ‘The 500 Most Influential Muslims in the World’ (Georgetown University), and called ‘America’s Funniest Muslim’ by CNN.Oh and he’s a father of four, former attorney, and dotcom entrepreneur - so at least we know his parents are proud of something. As we continue our conversations with Muslim Americans for the Holy month of Ramadan - this is a deep one you’re going to enjoy, so buckle your seat belts...LEARN ABOUT AZHAR Azhar.com @azharcomedy (Instagram, Twitter) youtube.com/user/azharusman MENTIONS TV: Ramy (Hulu): imdb.com/title/tt7649694 TV: 90 Day Fiancé: imdb.com/title/tt3469050 BOOK: The White Tiger (Aravind Adiga): goodreads.com/book/show/1768603.The_White_Tiger PERSON: Mansur Al-Hallaj (Sufi Mystic): wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Hallaj - ابو المغيث الحسين بن منصور الحلاج‎ See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
