our lives. in a new memoir the 1st death blind graduate of harvard law school reflects on childhood her ever try an ethiopian identity and journey to becoming an outspoken advocate for disability rights while a student at harvard helped develop the digital braille device that allows her to read information typed to her through a computer keyboard today she travels around the world promoting a message of inclusive ety and shares her life experiences as a deaf blind black woman and a child of refugees or has received orders from leaders including former u.s. president barack obama and german chancellor angela merkel. she has also become one of the leading voices in improving the accessibility of the digital world grows life so far is told in the book hoben the best one woman who conquered harvard law

. joins us today with her typhus claire balde also our viewers might notice the box in the corner of the screen today and that is because our conversation is being interpreted in american sign language everyone welcome to the stream. of it i'm going to get started with a beautiful picture of the you share your cell phone father say which is a picture of your dad and he's reading and he's asleep in your sleep lying on top of him and he's trying to read and it just gave us some insight into the closeness that you have with your parents can you tell us more about that yes so my parents will love than it dora me they also are a little protective like many parents and growing up we struggled with the

challenge of my parents wanting to keep me safe and protected and me wanting to experience as much as the world as possible i'm deaf blind i have limited vision and hearing and there are a lot of negative stereotypes about what people with disabilities can and can't do and that's the heart to the arguments i had with my parents growing up there was a situation where i wanted to help build a school in mali west africa and my parents said no it's not c and i told them you are from africa my dad grew up in ethiopia my mom grown thin is eritrea how can they tell me it's not seen. it was because they were feeling protective as parents it had nothing to do with africa even if i was building a school in say montana i was sure they would have told me no it's not saying you

so i tried in this is a story of advocacy so i advocated and i told them i know my abilities i know what i can and can't do and i can build a school and they still said no i was really frustrated i'm sure lots of kids can relate to this wanting to there's a thing in your parents saying no so i asked some ways of how can i convince them they're not believing me even though i feel like it expert when it comes to my abilities so i asked myself who else can help convince them that i can do this so we brought in the program manager who takes students to developing countries to help build schools and she sat down at lunch with me and my parents and they asked her how can happen build a school she can't see how would that work and the manager told them i

don't know but we'll try we'll find a way it's ok if you don't know how to do something as long as you try to seek solutions as long as you try to figure it out and make it work. and we did i went to mali i helped build a school and i literally mean building a school we were shambling making bricks taking the latrine so that kids in this village in mali could get an education the harder the program is about teaching high school students that we can have an impact in the world even if you have a disability you still can have an impact in the world when i came back home my parents were more convinced but only slightly even now

even after graduating from law school there's still nervous and still protect. that probably will never end as long as they're your parents have and i wanted to also bring in our community here we got a tweet so many people follow your work online love what you stand for and love what you advocate for this is a brit hume who's one of them on twitter says i watched your text talk and i must say you were super intelligent we both know too disabilities are the same we all have our uniqueness but how did you cope with growing up as a child in the streets. able ism is a problem all over the world in the united states in eritrea and ethiopia able

ism is the believe that people with disabilities are inferior to the non-disabled so employers thinking don't hire someone with a disability they won't do the job are teachers thinking we're not letting kids with disabilities in our class because they can't learn those are harmful assumptions and we need to get rid of them when i was a kid i didn't know how to advocate i missed out on so many things my high school graduation there were so many speeches that i missed i had no idea what they were saying because they didn't know how to add. slowly growing up i started to. then i started to hum more access and not only need every time i advocated i removed a barrier and it helped the students who came after me that's really what drove me to become a lawyer realizing that when i create positive achievement and benefits our whole

community. is a way that you write that takes us into your world we see inside the way that you off thinking we see through your eyes we see what you see and sometimes it's not that watch we try and understand the world from your perspective so for instance in your living room there's a step are you sure exactly where that step is so you do a job so you can pretty much guess where you think that step is and then you jump so you are navigating the world and we are navigating the world as a reader in your memoir food you. that way of describing things for people who do not have disabilities how they reacted to understanding more from your perspective. so there's so many ways to experience the world seeing is a one way if you don't have access to visual information really you can hear it if

you don't have access to sight or hearing i mean you can feel it so throughout the stories in my book i describe environments in multiple ways i talk about the feelings tables the wather food tastes mounds there's so many ways to experience the world some people ask why would people travel if they can't see the sights and as a blind person that sounds like a silly questions i mean there's so many experiences to how when you are out in the bout i went to dubai several years ago and it was so interesting to feel the different changes in weather to meet people and learn about the different cultures the different. smells so many experiences.

and so many of those experiences are detailed in your book which is excellent it's a quick read. and i'm not the only one who thinks so so there are some members of our community who are already in love with it once it does the video comment her name is monique home and she's a teacher of visually of the visually impaired and here is what she wanted you to hear of and i just finished reading your book and i found it thoroughly from beginning to end your wit your tenacity your love of learning family and certainly your humor show through all of your experiences i mean t.b.i. and i highly recommend your book for my students there and their parents as well as from my family and friends who often ask me a lot of questions about why this community and i'd love to point to your book as a resource for learning more and also just because for memoir you touched a little bit and very matter of fact kind of way on your multiple marginalise

identities the one where you spoke about being a black death and live woman at a harvard law school event and i'm wondering if you touch a little bit more on that experience because it's not often talked about the violence community and how that nuance perspective it impacts the work you do today . so her question is about your multiple identities being black being blind and deaf and a woman at harvard law school how did that inform your time there so that comment 1st of all i think you may need them so the real thing you enjoyed my book in the story is that specific comment comes from a scene where i'm at harvard law school and there's a networking reception for law students to meet with real live lawyers. and at the networking reception i stood out. as a woman who is also black with a dog and

a funny computer so i was ultra visible i had the same time i was also invisible because when people seeing me they think of all the assumptions all the enriches we have in society blind people the color most common images of the blind beggar and with that comes a low expectations and people assuming she's probably boring not going to talk to her or she probably can't work at my law firm i'm not going to go meet her all those negative assumptions then throughout our history the words down and dumb how often gone together which hurts the deaf community so many of us are extremely intelligent but people assume we are incompetent and they miss out on talent they miss out on opportunities so all the entertain is interest sucked.
