Testimonials

At the University of Baltimore Merrick School of Business, we had such a great session with Ibrahim Dabo. He inspired everyone. One of the ways we like to describe our students is “fueled with purpose,” and Ib demonstrates this. Ib inspired everyone with his story about how he overcame adversity as a child, fleeing war-torn Sierra Leone, and then as an adult in the USA, discovering he had [moderately] severe hearing loss. But the great lesson was that in everything he does, his teachers at the University of Baltimore attested to this; he focuses on what he can do for others. So that in itself was a great lesson.

Can’t thank you enough Mr. Dabo for the incredibly powerful & inspiring message you delivered to our Team!! With how perfect, on-point, & timely it was, there is ZERO doubt that it was God’s hand at work my friend. Truly BLESSED to be your friend!! FOREVER GRATEFUL!!

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.

Ib Dabo is one of the best inspirational speakers I have ever heard!  He is a skilled storyteller with a powerful message each time he steps to the stage.  His life experiences, intelligence and insight is combined with his beautiful humility that makes each speech not only profound, but also meaningful and relatable to all.  We might not all have had the same upbringing as Ib, but we can certainly learn how to become a better version of ourselves if we open ourselves up to his thoughtful messages shared in each of his eloquent speeches.

Your testimony is the most powerful of all I’ve heard. You are a phenomenal speaker, and you will impact multitudes across the globe. You have experienced so much starting at such a tender age. Your story had me bowled over in tears and I don’t think I’ll ever forget what you been through and the strength and humility and simplicity with which you shared your story. You are one very powerful force to be reckoned with.

If there was ever a person born to inspire the masses through speech it’s IB. His life journey is both awe inspiring and motivational. Truly one of the most authentic, effective and memorable speakers I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. 

Ibrahim! I was so touched by your strength and courage, but even more so by your humility as you told your story. You have walked a journey that few of us can ever begin to understand, but we can share your faith and grow stronger by your testimony. God never forsakes his children and you are truly his precious Beloved. 

When I heard Ibrahim’s story, I was very moved and inspired by his tenacity and resilience. His story will motivate you to push through any adversities and challenges.

With Ibrahim- you get more than a well-executed speech. You get thoughtful story-telling and inspiration. What Ibrahim delivers is food for the brain and heart alike.

If all you wanted was an uplifting story told by a remarkable man, Ibrahim Dabo was already your guy. Yet, I.B. offers so much more than that. He is compelling, inspirational, and dedicated to the storytelling craft. His stories will leave you speechless, his speeches will energize you, and his presence is beyond comparison. If you have a chance to book Mr. Dabo to speak, don’t wait, you have no time to lose. Just do it. You’ll be very, very impressed.
