Now that is the power of Jesus never judge a book by its cover ....I'm so blown away by how she's freaking talking rn
neekie Savoy yesssss
I don't know how even that possible
Jesus was a personal . doesn't have any power. Only god Almighty has the power
@@shukrihassan637 clown you clearly ignorant JESUS and GOD are the same person please go to church.
If that's the power of Jesus then how come he couldn't allow this woman to be born with sight and hearing??!! STFU!

Eritrea viva 🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷
I'm truly blown away on how is she able to talk with a good English! Like does she even know how the words are supposed to sound and stuff like it's both confusing and amazing at the same time !
Haben is inspiring. She will help tear down barriers for millions of people worldwide.
She’s so sweet & beautiful! What an inspiration 🧡
Much respect! You're a true inspiration.

You are a true proof that everything is about mindset!tons of respect for you!
Brilliant and Beautiful African woman.
African-American *cough
Why is she just not a beautiful woman? What does her skin have to do with it?
@HELENA GEB nonsense.. you don't know what u just saying...
@HELENA GEB She’s Eritrean and Ethiopian so generally, African.
@HELENA GEB You really are ridiculous.
Wow she made me cry and I am really thankfull that I am created this way Thank You God!!!
Truly an incredible and multi talented woman...she deserves the absolute best that life has to offer.
Such an inspiration 💜
'The barriers that exist are created by society'
What can be more true than that
You are a uniquely Strong Eritrean woman!!
We are so proud of you Haben!!
Her parents are from Eritrea 🇪🇷 i am proud 👇👍!
That's not true tell the truth. she is from Ethiopia but also she has also Eritrean blood but at the end of the day we are all human and the created of in God image.
jonney abenet just appreciate her hard work & try to learn something thing from her . Do you think that she will be successful if she were born & grown up in Ethiopia or Eritrea ?
I am 100% agree with @Hq ks .she would be successful if she born grown up Ethiopia or anywhere. it doesn't matter where you born or grown up to be successful as long as you work hard and believe in God you can be successful anywhere.just to give you example,the most successful people dr.kitawe ejegwe and Dr brook lakew who work as chief scientists in NASA both of them they born and grown up Ethiopia many more people have the same story
@@jonney235 yes you right we all human created by one almighty God, but that doesn't mean she isn't Eritrean!!
She known as Eritrean-american
Amazing. I’m speechless and stunned. What an inspiring individual.
Omg! You are a true inspiration. I will no longer feel sorry for myself, because your spirit has lifted my soul. Thank you.
🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷
To the staff members of the Harvard Law School, thank for sharing your inspirational videos. As I always say because it's true, every day I look for inspiration to use to motivate myself to pursue my dream to be a lawyer. Be that as it may, I have a learning disability. But I've learned to live with it because yet I am still alive and I am happy. Also, to the Attorney Haben Gima, thank you for being an inspirational woman. Every day I look for inspiration to use to motivate myself to pursue my dream to be a lawyer. I have a learning disability, but I learn to live with it because yet I am still alive and happy.
It doesn’t stop me from living. It doesn’t mean I can’t accomplish my dream to be a lawyer. I love all people from all walks of life as much as I love the law. In fact, when I become a lawyer, am going to be a nonpartisan lawyer who seeks the truth, and make a difference. In addition, I believe practicing the law is the best profession to resolve legal disputes. When I am a lawyer, I am going to use the law as a weapon, as an aid to serve people, and a tool to resolve problems within our communities because it is my dream career. God bless you guys!
Fabian McIntyre, there’s no doubt, You will be a lawyer!
People who have a disability often seem to have a large amount humbleness, wisdom, and other qualities that come from a deeper place within. Haben has a lot of wisdom to offer and, because of the assistive technology featured in this video, she is better able to share that wisdom with the world.
I’m Ethiopian and I’m proud that my people and my Eritrean brothers are this smart
Love you so much Haben shekor. Always proud of you 🥰
Oakland represent! You're an inspiration to us all.
Thank you Haben and HLS. This was amazing to watch
I'm speechless for som time. What a story! 😮
Simply inspiring. If you can conceive it, you can do it!
True inspiration... I love her voice
Thank you Haben for sharing and making my day so much brighter listening to you!
You are a inspiration. My father was blind and he experienced life to the fullest!
We proud of you. God bless you haben . I am from Eritrea
When she was asked been blind and deaf your accomplishement is amazing, how do you do that? She answered because I am Eritrean. Haben you can see and hear the struggle of the Eritrean people. Love you.
We Ethiopians proud of you you are like your fathers 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹
HQ KS Eritrea is in Ethiopia so no problem that’s like one of the province
HQ KS wow... great job! Keep spreading the hate and division.
@@gigisolo3579don't twist HA KS comment. Haben is an Eritrean America not Ethiopia; so please don't spread wrong information. Eritrean has been independent since 1991. in case you don't know.
haben Asm what part in my comment is “wrong information”? I’m just simply stating that it really doesn’t matter what she is! I have both Ethiopian 🇪🇹 and Eritrean 🇪🇷 in my family and all I’m saying is it don’t matter what she is. What matters is the beautiful work she is doing. Her sorry had blessed me until I scroll down to the comment section where ppl are fighting over nonsense crap. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the original comment. He was just saying how proud Ethiopia is just as much Eritrea is. Why does she have to jump in and comment talkin about “Ahh... She’s Eritrean! 😂😂”?? So what if she is? We can’t be proud of her just because she Eritrean?
Nothing short of phenomenal 👏🏾🙌🏾 ‼️Haben you are remarkable, excrptional, special, inspirational and one of a kind ‼️
Haben is absolutely amazing and inspirational! Thanks for posting this video.
You are an inspiration - wow. Thank you!! 🤗
You go gal. You have all the power! What an inspirational woman! ♥️
She was born deaf and can speak that well? Wow.
No Word to explain ur talent & ur hard working Haben. I am proud of you.
What an amazing message she brings!
She makes me feel useless. Such an amazing young lady
Wow this is truly touching and inspiring to say the least !!
Eritrean 🇪🇷!!! Am freaking proud of u!!
Such an inspirational woman 🙏🏾
You are an inspiration. Reach for your dreams
I think she was just naturally smart too, I know for myself I can try my hardest but I won't get into harvard in 100 years, let alone Harvard Law, let alone being deaf and blind at the same time. I think she was one of the few lucky ones to have those disabilities but also be gifted.
My throat hurts bcos im trying to hold back my tears,you go girl!!
You are so amazing!!! So inspiring ❤❤
She came to this world to teach us a valuable lesson. As a spiritualist, I believe she is way up there.
Amazing! It is very inspiring.
An incredible story
Much Love to you Haben Girma
So she ain't even hearing what she saying🤔, wow that is amazing really strong woman with strong ambition.

We love Haben
She is Amazing and Beautiful inside and out!
She is amazing!
Can someone please educate me on How is she Deaf/Blind can speak so well without hearing?
Hey Brian, I don't think the commenter is questioning her condition. I think this is them trying to access knowledge and you're shutting them out.
Brian Jefferson
Lol are you a troll? We’re not in a English lecture or seminar, the original comment simply wanted a brief explanation, nothing too extensive. Just because we stumble upon a video that we may find to be curious and not know too much info about, doesn’t mean we have to go seek counsel or information resources elsewhere. Who’s got time for time?
And there’s no need to be patronising or smart about it. It’s literally just a TH-cam comment.
Calm down, maybe you need a rest
Brian Jefferson that’s what the comment section is for. I was going to ask the same thing😂😂😂You trying to get all smart on everybody🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
she was taught very young before her deafness completely took over ! this is what I read
Jace Banks what I read is that she can hear some frequencies so she was able to learn how to speak
I love you my sister more than ever
amazing human being
Well done haben .....keep it up
Amazing strong lady great example 👏
We are Proud of You
We are proud of you sweety 🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷
So beautiful inside and out ♥️
That is reason to love America.
