Tarek Ghawji

Biography

Tarek was raised in a very complicated family dynamic with his father being Muslim and mother Catholic. His parents divorced in 2004 which was hard on him, driving him to seek some sense of self, and right and wrong on his own. He studied at Germantown Middle School then went on to study at Christian Brother's High School in Memphis, Tennessee. He went on to attend The University of Memphis seeking a degree in International Business. Since childhood, however, Tarek has had a passion for acting, though it was not something he seriously considered until 2011 when the death of a close friend pushed him to pursue his dreams (It is believed to have been an epiphany of sorts of how fleeting life can truly be). Through a friend, Tarek got a small part in the feature film "Lights, Camera, Bullshit" (2013) where he realized that his dream was true and that it was exactly what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. He then received another small role in "Nature of the Beast" (2013).
