The incredible life story of Haben Girma, the first Deafblind graduate of Harvard Law School, and her amazing journey from isolation to the world stage." -- From Amazon.com summary. Girma grew up with her family in the Eritrean city of Asmara during Eritrea's thirty-year war with Ethiopia. Defining her disability as an opportunity for innovation, she learned non-visual techniques for everything from dancing salsa to handling an electric saw. She developed a text-to-braille communication system that created a new way to connect with people. Pioneering her way through obstacles, Girma graduated from Harvard Law, and now uses her talents to advocate for people with disabilities. This is a testament to her determination to find the keys to connection. -- adapted from jacket Girma, Haben, 1988- 45173 Abogadas 28048 Personas con discapacidades 12782 Biografías Estados Unidos Mujeres como abogadas 10896 Biografías Estados Unidos Mujeres con discapacidades 46146 Estados Unidos Mujeres sordociegas 46149 Biografías Estados Unidos Abogadas con discapacidad Biografías 46148 Estados Unidos lcc BK dpf 125436 125436 0 0 lcc 0 0 RR BJB BJB RR 2025-10-07 0 B KF 373 G525h 2020 00000190537 2025-10-07 17:08:00 1 2025-10-07 BK
