Haben: The Deafblind Woman Who Conquered Harvard Law by Haben Girma
5.0
Haben takes us through a mile (and more) in her shoes as she narrates experiences from her youth to the present. Most memoirs I’ve read only retell a person’s life story but Haben’s memoir educates the reader.
I learned about Eritrean culture, history, and liberation from Ethiopian occupation, ableism and how it affects deafblind people, and how technology has advanced to make life and communication more accessible.
There is a need for advocacy for accessibility rights. I encourage anyone who, like me, is unknowledgeable about disability rights and inclusion to start with this book.
