Phantom Electric Ghost Interviews Ibis Valdes Pop Culture & Social Justice, Women’s Leadership Development

Biography

In 2011, Ibis organized with student activists to raise awareness for the lack of support for survivors of sexual violence. In 2013, she was interviewed by the producers of "The Invisible War (2011)," a documentary on sexual abuse culture in the US military. Her interview was featured in the follow-up film "The Hunting Ground (2015)" about survivors of sexual assault on college campuses.

In 2016, she was invited by Lady Gaga and Joe Biden to the Academy Awards to promote the documentary and raise further awareness on a global stage. This was a history-making moment that shone a light on survivors and became a turning point in the Me Too Era. Being a part of it taught Ibis how empathy, and listening to stories of those in marginalized communities can create real lasting change.

Soon after that experience, Ibis wanted to further her education and learn more about protecting human rights, peacebuilding, and development. She pursued an MA in International Law and Human Rights at the UN-mandated University for Peace in Costa Rica. Ibis thrived in classes like International Development and Economic Rights, where she learned about the interaction between economies and human rights. After completing her studies, Ibis dedicated her career to workforce development and entrepreneur support.
