Haben: The Deafblind Woman Who Conquered Harvard Law by Haben Girma

hopeful informative reflective medium-paced

5.0

As a disabled person myself, Haben Girma’s story really resonated with me. I have an autoimmune disorder, so my condition isn’t really noticeable at first, (to the point where teachers go half the year without noticing) but it does require accommodations. Overprotective parents… people think you aren’t competent… etc… it’s an experience that everyone with any sort of disability encounters. This was nicely written and I loved to see a successful story from an amazing woman that prevailed against the odds and is making efforts to help the people of the future.
