In the beginning, Harvard Law was not accessible to Haben. She knew of other law students who were deafblind but felt that she could not be part of their group because she was a woman and a member of the Ethiopian Jewish community. The common attitude is that women, blacks, and members of minority communities such as Jews should stick to fields related to their interests. But Haben did not care about those beliefs or statistics. Instead, she continued her studies and later graduated first in her class with honors from Harvard Law due only to her determination.

[She] was born in the Sudan and is deaf, blind, and unable to speak. As a child, her village killed the rest of the family to keep her from speaking out about their atrocities.
