Ib, Keynote Speaker

Hi, I’m Ib!

I’m on a mission to empower students to overcome challenges and thrive in today’s complex world. From an early age, I experienced profound loss—losing my father at just three years old and enduring the tragic deaths of father figures and mentors amidst conflict and accidents. Fleeing the war in my homeland, I arrived in a new country as a refugee at 14, stripped of all belongings. With nothing but the clothes on my back and the resilience in my heart, I embarked on a journey of survival and self-discovery, shaping my determination to inspire resilience in others.

Drawing from my own journey, which includes navigating war, journalism at 17, and overcoming bullying and hearing loss, I share stories and insights to demonstrate to students that obstacles need not define them. Through my talks, I inspire students to embrace resilience, determination, and faith, while emphasizing the significance of mindfulness, leadership, and discovering their purpose. Together, let’s inspire your students to overcome adversity and thrive, empowering them to reach their full potential and make a positive impact in their communities.

Your story is so powerful and how you delivered it, with passion and simplicity. You did a great job. You took us there. I felt it. The tone of your voice. How you expressed your words. You didn’t just throw them out there. And the things that you are giving young people. You are God’s miracle child and are here for a reason. I’m glad you are part of our community.

Dr. Carolane Williams

You, like all of us, choose what we want to do with our lives: (1) we can either pursue selfish interests in getting others to serve us; or, (2) we can decide that we will be of service to others. You have obviously chosen the latter and, consequently, will be forever blessed for it. Keep up the good work! I’m so proud of everything you’ve achieved.
