Born Deafblind, Haben Girma grew up navigating a world not built for her. Rather than accept limits, she chose to boldly advocate for change — not just for herself, but for communities everywhere. From Harvard Law to the global stage, Haben champions the belief that challenges, in all their forms, are catalysts for innovation, and that every obstacle holds an opportunity to create better, more inclusive solutions. Through her own personal story, Haben asks leaders to reimagine barriers as sparks for creative problem-solving, leadership, and systemic change. Her approach to influencing and overcoming adversity shows how courage, self-advocacy, and a willingness to challenge the status quo can drive meaningful, lasting impact.
