Haben

The Deafblind Woman Who Conquered Harvard Law

Haben Girma

This inspiring memoir follows the journey of the first Deafblind graduate of Harvard Law School, as she overcomes isolation and turns her disability into an opportunity for innovation. From facing off against a bull she couldn't see to helping build a school in Mali, Haben pioneers her way through obstacles and develops a text-to-braille communication system that creates an exciting new way to connect with people. Her many adventures range from the hair-raising to the hilarious, and her uplifting story is a testament to determination and finding connection.
