We Are Wonga.
I’m Tiana - the creator of WongaGyal - and I’d like to welcome you to this here #WongaWorld.
It all started with WongaGyal - an Instagram gallery of food adventures captured with my iPhone SE.
Upon graduating from Vassar College with a BA in Mathematics and trying to figure out my place in the “real” world, the WongaGyal community grew - and so did my passion for food photography and content creation.
In what felt like the blink of an eye, large brands started reaching out for content creation, small businesses were reaching out for help with managing their social media presence, food festivals began inviting me to events to provide coverage, and I was indulging in it all!
So naturally comes the birth of WongaMedia - a collection of creative minds providing a bellyful of content for your audience to salivate over.
So whether you’re here to enjoy my personal foodie endeavours as WongaGyal, or to further enhance your own brand with the help of WongaMedia, I extend the biggest #WongaWelcome!
