Episode Synopsis

Mahbuba, a refugee from Afghanistan, didn’t have a way to communicate for the first six years of her life. Expressing herself as a deaf child was difficult. With no access to education in rural Afghanistan as a deaf girl, she didn’t experience language education until coming to Chicago.

Reset talks with author and freelance journalist Elly Fishman who covered Mahbuba’s story.
