Joseph Oubelkas (born 10 September 1980, Raamsdonksveer, Netherlands) is a Dutch author and inspirational speaker whose life epitomises resilience. A gifted technologist, he graduated as one of the country’s youngest IT engineers in 2001 and soon founded his own company. While on a business trip to Morocco in December 2004, Oubelkas was wrongfully convicted of drug trafficking and given a ten-year sentence despite a complete lack of evidence. He endured 1,637 days in several Moroccan prisons before gaining release through the Netherlands–Morocco WOTS treaty in 2009.

During his imprisonment, Oubelkas received hundreds of letters from his mother; those letters inspired his bestselling memoir 400 brieven van mijn moeder (2011). He followed it with Gezondheid, Liefde, Vrijheid (2014), reflecting on rebuilding life after captivity. Today, Oubelkas travels internationally as a keynote speaker, sharing lessons on hope, personal leadership and the transformative power of connection.
