2020-06-05 · 5 Lessons I've Learned about Racism — Ali says minority readers of a book with a white lead such as Harry Potter never wonder whether it is for them, while white readers of a book with a Black lead do. — 00:13:57

2018-02-14 · Monthly Favourites #1 - Ali Abdaal — Ali thought the Mistborn trilogy might replace Harry Potter as the best series he has read; Harry Potter stays on top for its childhood place in his heart, with Mistborn a very close second. — 00:08:10
