Ib Dabo Motivational Speaker

Your event needs a motivational speaker that connects with the students and shares a message of hope.

Whether you’re perfecting the details of a virtual gathering or finalizing your live event, one thing is certain—your students want to be inspired. They want to leave knowing that their life has purpose.

Ib does Just that.

Ib understands the challenges faced by today’s youth. He uses his own adversities as examples of how to overcome any situation. His transparency and relatability help students see that no one’s journey is perfect, but with perseverance, anything is possible.

Inspiring. Powerful. Relevant.

Ibrahim, that was a very inspiring speech on graduation day. We looked at each other right as you were leaving the stage. I am the son of political refugees from Cuba, so your story touched me in a special way… Keep making speeches like that where anyone will listen… It is inspiring!

Ibrahim’s testimony affected me. It was inspiring. Motivating. He was speaking from the heart and truly brought life to the Scriptures that describe God’s character. So thank you, Ibrahim. It was incredible. And I’m so thankful for hearing it. Hopefully, you guys will feel blessed in hearing it as well, because I sure was.
