“I turned blind and that became my window to escape early marriage. Lucky me, no early husband, I was taken to the capital, tested and they told me “you can never be sighted, but,” the doctor said, “she can be educated.” That turned my life into a miracle and brought me all the way here, form Addis.” Human rights lawyer and disability rights activist, Yetnerbersh Nigussie, shares a powerful story of overcoming barriers and transforming her disability into multiple abilities. Yetnebersh tells us that there are one 1 billion persons with disabilities ready to contribute with their multiple abilities to solve the most complex problems in the world; all we need to do is recognize that we need them and want them.
