Harvard Law School’s first Deafblind graduate

Outlook

Available for over a year

Haben Girma is a Harvard Law School graduate, an attorney, she's been invited to the White House... and she's Deafblind. Haben has published a book called Haben: The Deafblind Woman Who Conquered Harvard Law. Tresor Riziki's path to superstardom in South Africa started with a journey across half of the African continent. But he’s not from South Africa, and he had a pretty tough journey getting there. Tresor started life in Goma, in the Eastern DRC, a small city that has experienced decades of armed conflict and volcanic eruptions, and he knew he'd have to leave to pursue his music.
