6/28/2023 0 Comments Haben by Haben GirmaEritrea was at war with Ethiopia, fighting for independence a war that lasted for 30 years. Haben’s extraordinary story began before she was born, with her mother’s decision to flee her home country of Eritrea, Africa, and make a refugee’s journey to the USA. This is the story of Haben Girma, a truly inspirational Eritrean-American woman who overcame these momentous hurdles and became the first deaf-blind graduate of Harvard Law School. Can you imagine, then, taking away the power of sight also? Now imagine that the law school in question is Harvard, noted as one of the top law schools in the world, regarded for both its remarkable academic excellence and prestigious previous alumni. Can you imagine the difficulties you would face going through law school as a deaf person? The image in our heads is most probably one of us relying almost exclusively on our powers of sight to intake any information presented to us.
