Women without barriers

Listen to our Radio Programme and learn about 6 women who have overcome very big barriers and achieved amazing goals in their lives. These Women are:

Tamika Catchings: deaf WNBA champion and 4- olympic-gold medalist.

Haben Girma: deaf and blind lawyer. First deaf and blind Harvard law student.

Amanda Folendorf: first deaf woman mayor in the USA

Maysoon Zayid: Stand-up comedian. She suffers from cerebral palsy.

Rebecca Cokley: Born with achondroplasia, Rebecca is today US Executive Director of the National Council on Disability.

Christine Ha: blind US Master Chef winner and writer.

16 students of 2º B have been working on a project about these 6 women. They have learnt about these women’s problems and challenges, but also about their achievements.

In the first part of the programme, our students share information about our brilliant protagonists and you can also listen to the women’s actual opinions and remarks. In the second part of the programme the students have established an open debate to discuss how these women cope with their disabilities and how they have achieved their goals in life.

Don’t miss our programme, it’s worth listening!!
