Wadibia manages initiatives designed to fuel female ambition and ensure women have equal access and opportunity to thrive professionally and personally. Wadibia drives a firm-wide strategy to improve the financial health of women inside and outside the firm by designing and investing in programs that enhance employees, clients, and community members’ money management skills, investing literacy, and ability to build wealth. Wadibia also supports girls and women by directing charitable contributions to anchor institutions that provide wraparound support, such as emergency funds, child care assistance, and housing stability services.  

Professionally, Wadibia has always fostered programmatic and institutional changes. While at Prosperity Now, a national nonprofit intermediary advancing racial economic equity, she expanded the capacity of social service organizations to maximize impact for their low and moderate-income clients. Wadibia’s proudest achievements include implementing credit-building programs for youth aging out of foster care, mentoring college students, investing in BIPOC leaders advancing racial economic justice, and building a community of 1000+ DC-area femme, trans, and gender non-conforming advocates for social justice. As a first-generation NigerianAmerican, Wadibia’s focus on economic mobility and wealth creation for women, girls, and gender-expansive folks is informed by multiple perspectives. 

Wadibia earned a bachelor’s in government from Georgetown University and a professional certificate in Organizational Consulting and Change Leadership from Georgetown’s Institute for Transformational Leadership. She is a SOAR Fellow with The Aspen Institute’s Forum on Women and Girls. Wadibia loves adventure, especially skydiving and scuba diving, and is a spicy food enthusiast. She lives in the Washington DC area with her husband.
