In 2006, due to frequent negative portrayals of Africans in the media, she decided to take matters into her own hands and put together a television programme called 'Podium' showcasing the best Africa has to offer to the rest of the world via BEN TV & Passion TV on the Sky platform. Podium International Magazine was later launched in the UK in August 2008, followed by the Podium International Launch and Podium Recognition Awards in Nigeria in 2010.
On Christmas Day 2013, 'A Meal A Day' - an initiative of TAC Foundation was launched in Lagos. The initiative strives to provide disadvantaged families, especially widows and single parent families with food supplies to provide “one meal daily” for a month. It also provides training and apprenticeships or education that can empower the families and help them to provide subsequent meals for themselves.
TAC Foundation also started a weekly social media live broadcast called “TAC Republic” themed: “Waging war against poverty” - which teaches aspiring entrepreneurs how to start and run successful businesses. She also trains and coaches people on career development and capacity building. It aimed to support and develop 52 individuals to become successful business owners and this was achieved by the middle of the year when TAC had a networking event and launched Podium Radio in the UK.
Podium Radio is a 24hr online community Radio with studios in London, Barrie-Ontario and Lagos-Nigeria. Podium Radio also has a presence on Facebook that streams live videos of the radio shows.
In April 2017, TAC trained twelve people free of charge through its MC/Public Speakers workshop. Most of them now have their own shows and are also getting patronage as Event Comperes. She has done further training in Lagos on Business First Steps and also Parenting.
Podium International Nursery and Primary School was birthed in September 2017 in Lekki, Lagos. It is a project close to her heart due to her love for children and the "belief in what the Bible says about putting things right at the foundation stage."
She is currently studying Law in the United Kingdom and plans to extend the coverage of the TAC foundation as a charity organization.
Titilola Aboyade-Cole (TAC) is a multi-faceted woman, a single mother of three "with a vision to make the world a better place and leave her footprints on the surface of the earth." She believes most problems in this world can be solved with love.
