I believe she went deaf later in life, so she would have learned to talk "normally" before that. But it's important to remember many deaf people don't talk at all which is also perfectly fine.

"Disability is RARELY the problem. The problem is often society creating arbitrary barriers and we all need to work together to remove those barriers." -Haben I couldn't agree more with this assessment. It's similar to my experience as an autistic adult whose been bending the world around me for years.
It also depends on the kind of disability. Because when you have MS or nerve issues, it's hard to focus. It's really about the level of energy and equipment to help you work.
People rarely go out of their way to help others in something that won't benefit themselves somehow. It's not that they're creating barriers, they just don't want to take the effort to accommodate the disability. If you were a business owner and you had the choice of hiring a disabled person who needed specialized access to the building, specialized equipment to work, etc. vs someone who doesn't, it's a no brainer. This goes the same for hiring women who are child bearing and require maternity leave. Not saying it's right, just telling it how it is.
@L D Put who down? People without disabilities? She was pointing out the fact that she has achieved so much, and that some may never achieve what she has even without having to overcome the physical problems her disability will have caused.
FlufftonTail I’m not. I’m simply stating that her case stands out *because* of her disabilities. Many millions of people do very difficult things every day. She’s a rare case and that brings attention
When I see people like her that has done much more than most in the comment sections. I question the idea of the white oppressive patriarchy narrative. If you dont achieve something blame yourself not everyone else around you
Of course there will always be racist and sexist and all the isms. For as long as free will exist humans will make decisions, good or bad. What Im saying is if she can do it anyone can do it. Aka your hard work gets you places no matter whats against, especially in the U.S.A. (I say that cause its hard to be yourself in a place like North Korea) I'm just against the narrative of I'm a minority thus I can not succeed. I believe and been taught by my mother to take responsibility. I will dictate my outcome
Im not sure if that was a serious question (probably not). But I'll still answer. Being a woman isn't a disability. Woman just like any other being is us of value and can become great. But when you have a mentality that the world is rigged to favor straight white men. Being a woman is seen as an underdog of sorts. Whether being a woman is disadvantages, true or not. A contradiction to that way of thinking is the marvelous, hard working, young lady in the video. She decided to take her future and develop into something greater than what people may have told her. (You're female, of color, a refugee, deaf, & blind. In this part of the world you can't succeed) She decided to take responsibility of her life. Not to wait for the world to change (it won't ). All we can do is change our habits and our mentality to then change our outcome
As a minority from a third world country living in Europe at times i feel defeated by the system. I feel hopeless at times like i’m not worthy. It’s motivating to see this type of content i feel empowered again. I wish you nothing but the best sweetheart, you are way stronger than most of us
She gave a speech during graduation at CSULA. She talked about not being able to read the food menu at her school. The school wouldn't help her. She threatened to sue them, they added brail for her after haha. Very inspiring.
She spoke at my friend’s graduation from CSULA, and omg she had us all in tears because she’s such a sweet woman. She’s so smart and the way she expressed herself is so soothing. She said a story about her not being able to read or see the options at her school cafeteria, and she did not stop there, she then started advocating for those like her. It was an honor to hear her story and her resilience, she’s an angel.
“My parents had high expectations for me” That sentence made me tear, my parents were too busy in their own problems, the expectations were non existent.
321 Cinco hypothetically will you be able to behave politely when you’re parents didn’t raise you that way ? You can’t say oh this adult should behave politely when he didn’t know the way he was behaving wasn’t the norm. You grow up thinking your family behavior and attitudes are the norm.
When she says “Don’t call me inspirational.”, I cannot help, but to smile and 100% agree with her statement. The fact that society has this horrible mindset that causes them to either put us down with pity or place us on pedestals and say that we are clearly inspirational to people who aren’t disabled is really harmful to people with disabilities as a whole. I don’t see myself as being inspirational because of having cerebral palsy and ADHD, and I try really hard to keep my composure when people say that to me. If people could only open their minds and realize that no matter the disability, we are just as much the same as time, we can educate them and get rid of society’s stereotypes and messed up perceptions of disabilities once and for all.
That’s a great question @whole food plant based man Cities definitely have an energetic frequency to them so that is cool to think she does experience them through feeling. Wow
Know 1 you don’t have to actually travel to travel. Some people that can seen can’t afford to travel. They look at travel books. But, she is there and can’t see the landmarks. Traveling is what you make it.
I was wondering do Millenials know who Helen Keller is? Her story was still prominent when I was a kid in the 80s which was just about 20 years after her death, but I don't hear much about her anymore. Maybe this woman can be a "Helen Keller" for a new generation.

Yes, This is great content representation of individual with disabilities empowerment. Could this be a series? People with processing speed/ learning disabilities need representation too. Thanks 🙏🏻
I lost most of my hearing when I was 4. I had to wear hearing aids and I never was bullied until I went to a predominantly urban school. To this day, my biggest setbacks has not been my hearing, but my experiences with people who don't have a good self esteem. I rarely think about my disability until I put on my hearing aids and then it's very difficult to process the sounds I'm not used to hearing, so I don't wear them. If people can be deaf and adapt, I can choose to be hearing impaired and adapt as well.
@@joelGi I'm black and I'm pretty sure she meant black. It's a messed up/ignorant thing to say and before you go there with me, myself esteem is fine. I graduated with this girl.
This is amazing. I'm surprised without the ability to hear how she knows how to pronounce words? I thought deaf people struggle with speech because they have no reference.
Actually, she sounds a bit robotic when speaking, which I assume is because she never got the hang of speech inflections. But yeah, I wonder how she got so proficient with pronunciation.
I appreciate that Haben made a system to communicate, as a deaf & blind individual. She is disrupting the norms . She didn’t allow fear to control her life. 😊❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼.
Everyone keeps commenting on how well she speaks for a deaf person. There are so many theories and people who think this is fake. The answer is quite simple: she can hear. She is LEGALLY deaf. The same answer applies to deaf people who wear hearing aids and blind people who wear glasses.
More videos should be like this then. They may cost more and may be more labor intensive but there should be a channel with videos just like this so there's an option.
Mike Simmons ‘Your ‘ country was built using the pillaged and stolen resources and labour of those ‘3rd World ‘ countries. They’ve earned the right to benefit from their stolen resources and labour. Anyway how have you contributed to your country? And yet you want to block others for assessing and contributing to your country? Be honest with yourself and realize your sense of entitlement rests weakly on the coincidence of your birth.
Red RëRë let him be sad and miserable on RUclips but most importantly don’t let him waste your time and make you feel as sad as him in the REAL WORLD where it matters...❤️
The first sentence is wrong. She had enough residual hearing such that she was able to learn speaking and grew up without acquiring any form of sign language.
I really appreciate these captions and descriptions and think it's really important to have these for ALL video, especially from news sources. Accessibility is not to pick and choose which things are accessible and available
So for most of the video I was focusing on her being blind and doing all these wonderful things and then I remembered she’s deaf too! So when she’s doing her comedy improv, she can’t hear anyone but reads it on her Braille notebook. That is a whole new level of difficulty for comedy. Timing and delivering is everything in comedy and she’s still doing it. I’m honestly floored by her determination and success. So proud of her! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
How can she talk so well? I assumed since she can’t hear she doesn’t know what she’s saying because she can’t hear. EDIT: speech therapy might be the answer! I'm not trying to be negative, my experience with deaf people have been that they can't talk this well and I assumed it wasn't possibility or they would've done it
This is exactly why I’m going to study engineering and computer science. I want to help people progress and not suffer as much with the daily difficulties they face.
FaBi II speech therapy lots of speech therapy, this girl must be brilliant though bc without vision too speech therapy would be really hard plus her accent is very small compared to most other deaf people.
I was looking through the comments for this question. I'm very curious. I've been around many totally deaf and partially deaf from birth and they don't speak like this lady at all. My Stepmother was totally deaf from birth and she could speak but it took me months before I could understand her speech.
I know her. She is legally deaf and blind. She has extremely limited vision and can hear if you yell. However, people who can't hear at all can still learn attend speech therapy. My point is basically that she can hear, but being yelled at and straining to hear is no way to live.
@@C_HelloThereomg you are just saying that because she is deaf. 🤦🏾♀️ she doesn't have an accent because she can hear. Being deaf and/or blind doesnt necessarily mean you can't see or hear at all. It means you are legally considered deaf or blind. She can hear if you yell so I'm sure she just had amplified headphones.
Wow. Although she does not want to be looked at as an inspiration, she most definitely is!! I am so proud of her,and I don't know her Most people let fear take over their passions. Enjoy your blessings, Haben!
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 shown in this video, she is better able to share that wisdom with our world 🙏
5:32 ok this part is easier said than done. That requires extra time and money that just do not exist a lot of the time, especially for small companies that do not have the resources. Of course it would be great if everything was accessible to everyone, but there’s a good reason why the disabilities act goes as far as it does
Thank goodness she's rich. She likely wouldn't have been able to accomplish a 3rd what's she has were she raised in a poor household. That's not to diminish her accomplishments. If anyone deserves $ to help smooth the way, it's someone like this. And without her strong will, the $ would have only got her so far.
I'm surprised how well she could talk. She has a cute voice.
I had the same thought. There are many hearing abled people that don't have the excellent enunciation she has.
youtuber Jessica Kellgren-Fozard learned to keep talking while she was going deaf and now shes still able to articulate very welle
@@salomew-l3897 oh yes, how could I forget her. Love her

People rarely go out of their way to help others in something that won't benefit themselves somehow. It's not that they're creating barriers, they just don't want to take the effort to accommodate the disability. If you were a business owner and you had the choice of hiring a disabled person who needed specialized access to the building, specialized equipment to work, etc. vs someone who doesn't, it's a no brainer.
This goes the same for hiring women who are child bearing and require maternity leave.
Not saying it's right, just telling it how it is.
"I'm not the problem. Everyone around me is the problem."
That's a selfish outlook on the world if you ask me.
She has lived a much fuller life than me, with no disabilities. Good reminder that I have no excuses to not put myself out there more
I was waiting for them to be like... and she’s also an astronaut. 😂
Well, she is a Black woman and the magic is phenomenal within Black women.

@L D Put who down? People without disabilities? She was pointing out the fact that she has achieved so much, and that some may never achieve what she has even without having to overcome the physical problems her disability will have caused.

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 shown in this video, she is better able to share that wisdom with our world 🙏
5:32 ok this part is easier said than done. That requires extra time and money that just do not exist a lot of the time, especially for small companies that do not have the resources. Of course it would be great if everything was accessible to everyone, but there’s a good reason why the disabilities act goes as far as it does
Thank goodness she's rich. She likely wouldn't have been able to accomplish a 3rd what's she has were she raised in a poor household.
That's not to diminish her accomplishments. If anyone deserves $ to help smooth the way, it's someone like this. And without her strong will, the $ would have only got her so far.
