Ahmed's Portrait

Ahmed Tarawally, Jr.

Ahmed has extensive experience in the performing arts as an actor, comedian, and musician. He has performed in the United Nations. He has appeared at the Comic Strip and the New York Comedy Club in New York City. He writes music daily. It is not uncommon for him to pen ten new songs a week. He has a very charismatic stage presence and a powerful singing and speaking voice.

He also has a message. He has seen firsthand the struggle for freedom in Africa and has lost family members to needless violence committed by those who lack understanding. Ahmed is a focused artist who understands the importance of speaking out for freedom, peace, and democracy to the world at large.
