About this book
Born to Eritrean and Ethiopian parents and raised in California, Haben Girma became the first Deafblind graduate of Harvard Law. Her memoir traces a globe-trotting coming-of-age: from building tactile dance parties to trekking icefields, learning Braille and navigational tech, and using the law to win better access for others. Along the way, she navigates friendship, family expectations, and the sparks of romance with fearless curiosity. Written in clear, inviting prose, Haben is a story of ingenuity and interdependence that reframes disability as a source of creativity. It’s energizing, educational narrative nonfiction that leaves readers more observant, empathetic, and ready to advocate.
