Tawanda Gona is a Boston bred Brooklyn Based Comedian/Writer who’s recently forayed into new ventures with his comic strip and animated shorts. This newfound passion has led to being featured in the 2020 NewFilmmakers Festival and winning the First Time Filmmakers Sessions in August. While accolades are cool, his biggest pride and joy is being able to share his love of creating with all of us. Whether it be laughing at a joke, sharing a comic or thinking about the artistic meaning of a short, his goal is to have us entertained. Well his true goal is to one day meet Gucci Mane and Stone Cold Steve Austin in the same party, but for now, our entertainment is number one on his checklist.
