I had the pleasure and honor of meeting Haben Girma at a party last night . To quote abovethelaw Haben Girma isn’t your typical lawyer. For starters, she’s a Harvard Law graduate. She was also named a White House “Champion of Change” in 2013. To top it off, she serves as a Skadden Fellowship Attorney at Disability Rights Advocates. Pretty impressive for someone who is only 26 years old — especially when you consider she’s both deaf and blind. That’s right — Haben is a deaf-blind lawyer. But she hasn’t let her disabilities get in her way. If, despite her pedigree, you remain unconvinced of her tenacity, listen to her recent TEDx talk where she discusses her education and her advocacy work at DRA. https://youtube/watch?v=Mvoj-ku8zk0
