She is the creative director of Bimfag Events and Craft (BEC), a Nigerian-based business that uses various crafts to beautify spaces for events and also trains children and adults, especially women, on making robust handcrafts. BEC creates lovely decor with balloons, beads, fabrics, ribbons, and other recyclable materials. BEC uses these materials to train in schools for extracurricular activities. BEC’s mission is to contribute to sustainable economic development by training at least eighty-five thousand women and girls to be self-reliant and experience financial freedom in Nigeria by the year 2032. Additionally, BEC engages in the climate change campaign of ‘Waste to Wealth’ by reusing plastic to make decor pieces, reducing non-biodegradable waste.

She has been able to synergize her passion for events and craft in her recently launched initiative; ‘Craftcorner with Ms Bee’, an initiative where a safe, fun-filled environment is created at parties for kids to learn different handcrafts including necklaces, bracelets, paper flowers, a saving box with recyclable materials and more.
