Show Notes
I've been following Sara for few years now & she is an inspiration to me and to many women. She is one strong willed woman who has exemplified overcoming her disability through success. Sara Minkara became legally blind when she was 7 years old and there is a lot to learn from her.
In this episode we discussed the right terms to use for people with disability in Arabic, a run down of her day, her struggles, and her dreams.
