Tyler Perry is a singular entertainer, whose bona fides precede him. From his life living in poverty in New Orleans to soaring heights in Hollywood landing him on the A-list is why he is nominated as NAACP Image Entertainer of the Year. Perry recently made the Forbes list of billionaires, and the trajectory of his career has no glass ceiling. There’s easily 10 reasons why he has inspired us all; his spirited commitment and humbleness, his response to Black Lives matter, being a Civil rights advocate, a helping hand, his assistance during the pandemic, giving strong messages of encouragement, being a friend in need, a shelter from the storm, a secret angel to those in need, and building and continuing to expand Tyler Perry Studios making it the first major motion picture production facility to be exclusively owned by an African American.
