In Ramy's A24 zine, “Keeping the Faith,' Youssef gets candid with Mahershala Ali, MindyKaling, AlexaDemie, and more.
, among others, about what they were like as kids and how they learned to love themselves. But this edition is a fairly remarkable collection of personal anecdotes on the spiritual journeys of Amar'e Stoudemire, who is Jewish, and Rainn Wilson, an observer of the Baha'i faith. It is certainly the first time we've seen religion as it pertains to pop culture figures framed in this way.
The conversations are fairly wide-ranging, and aren't limited to the actors’ religious experiences within the scope of their careers. Kaling laid bare to Youssef her memories of when her mother passed away, and how it threatened to poke holes in her relationship with Hinduism. “I really ran the gamut of emotions when my mother died,” Kaling said."She died so unexpectedly and so quickly that I remember thinking there can’t be a god, because why would they have done something to someone like my mom, who was a doctor and delivered babies and saved lives? Then, I was so surprised by how my relationship with her continued after she died. I’m not talking about spooky shit. She didn’t come to me in a dream. I didn’t see her or feel her presence or anything like that.
