Tyler Perry has always been outspoken about his narrative from a younger age to the outstanding breakthrough he is having in life, and with comes as a motivation to many. 

The multi-hyphenate has always been about his people and showing them anything is possible. His infamous speech about building his own table has already come full circle as he now owns his own studio, Tyler Perry Studios, where he produces all of his BET+ shows and movies. Also, it is the only Black-owned studio and the land is on a former confederate base in Atlanta, Georgia, making the whole thing that much more meaningful.

It is no doubt the year 2020 has so far been a dramatic and difficult year for many, however, Perry has been able to magnanimously give back to the community. His initiative was reaching out to chunk of families that are finding it hard to feed themselves, with thousands showing up to receive the welfare gesture. 

According to CNN, the food was gone within 2 hours.

Perry, notable for his charitable works, gave away $1000 Kroger Gift cards to needy families. Last year he also picked up the tab for people’s Christmas layaways.

The “Madea” actor continues to expand his mega production company by employing hundreds of workers despite the movie business being shut down.
