As stated in comedian Lewis' Anointed2Laugh.com biography, "As a former 'Class Clown,' Tanya realized her talent to entertain but never acted upon it until she attended a 'Live Your Dreams' event. While at this event, God revealed to her that she possessed a gift that would be used to honor Him and impact the lives of others. Tanya has always used her sense of humor to capture the attention of others as well as establish new relationships.
"This anointed woman of God has an incredible stage presence, a natural gift, and a great personality. You might find her cracking a joke anywhere or showing out at one of her performances. To get a preview of her talents, go on Facebook where she has a comedy page 'Comedienne Tanya Lewis.'
"Tanya’s performance will have you cracking up as she shares her experiences of how she joined the church, getting the Holy Ghost, and the song that she wrote about being fit for the Kingdom. She does it with such style, class, and confidence that her audiences feel as if they are part of the act. Tanya is an all-around entertainer. Tanya has written the Stage play Torn in which she received the 2021 Stage Play of The Year Award. Tanya is the Recipient of the Church Stars Comedienne of the Year Award twice, and three other times for various organizations, and was an honoree at the African American Museum. She has opened for Reverend Jesse Jackson, Leandria Johnson, Monique, Cocoa Brown, and VaShawn Mitchell, to name a few.
"Tanya is the CEO and Founder of Dmv’s Got Talent, which offers a platform to showcase their gifts. She is also the author of Restored, in which she talks about her journey and transformation from strongholds and addictions. Tanya is very transparent and invites you to read about her journey. Her second book titled Behind The Mask will leave you awaiting more. Tanya has no problem connecting with people from every walk of life. She is committed and passionate to her purpose in life."
