Aofiyebi launched the rental business TKM Essentials in May 2014. The primary clients include event planners and interior decorators. The idea for the business came when she was planning her 60th birthday and received a large bill from the event planner, and decided it would be more economical to buy the supplies rather than rent them. Most of her supplies are sourced from China and India, and she said they appear expensive but would be affordable to those with money. The store is located in Raufu Williams Crescent, in Lagos, and the grand opening was attended by First Lady of Lagos Abimbola Fashola.[9] In July 2014, Aofiyebi served as a business mentor to young entrepreneurs as part of the Mara Mentor initiative.[10] In 2019, she was a judge in a beauty pageant for deaf girls.[11] [12]
