about Us

Symbodied is inspired by the ancient role of the Dibia, a healer and community advisor with extensive knowledge of herbs (Mgbọrọgwụ) and wealth creation (Awele Akụ na Ụba - Vehicle of wealth). Unlike the misrepresented "juju" stereotypes, these traditions focus on wisdom, governance and communal prosperity. Historically, the Dibia collaborated with community leaders, like the holders of the ọfọ (symbol of authority), to create markets that served as centers for trade, shared responsibility, and collective growth.

Our Mission

Symbodied’s mission involves providing socio-economically rooted, historically contextualized, and culturally relevant consulting and project assistance to organizations. Our approach emphasizes inclusive decision-making processes and equitable resource distribution, aligning with principles that encourage collective participation. Inspired by the ideas of leaders who championed social justice and empowerment, Symbodied embraces a vision that prioritizes community welfare and equitable development. By integrating these principles, we strive to create a space where ethical, mutually beneficial relationships can thrive, contributing to positive social change.

Our Vision

We are dedicated to fostering a collective lifestyle that values shared self-worth, collective love, and communal care, deeply rooted in the appreciation of our shared culture and history. Symbodied is committed to providing support and diverse resources that empower our community, recognizing and embracing the unique strengths and challenges within our collective, with a particular focus on the experiences of the proletariat working class. Through this inclusive and mindful approach, we aim to create sustainable opportunities, fostering a sense of shared belonging and ensuring a brighter future for our community as a whole.
