Farheen Abbas is the kind of person you want to be friends with the first time you meet her. She is engaging, quick-witted and energetic. She's my first guest who chose to talk about a book from her childhood, and it was amazing how relevant the book still is today. We ventured all over the place in this wide ranging talk - from Manga to how movies depict slavery to reading difficult books as a child. I know you're going to love hearing from her as much as I did.
