From Homeless to Hollywood The unbelievable rise of tyler perry

Tyler Perry's story is one of remarkable resilience and triumph. Born into poverty in New Orleans, he endured a tumultuous childhood marked by abuse. Despite these hardships, Perry found solace in writing and eventually moved to Atlanta to pursue his dreams. He faced numerous rejections and lived out of his car at times, but his perseverance paid off when his play, "I Know I've Been Changed," finally found success. Perry's unique blend of humor and poignant storytelling resonated with audiences, leading to the creation of the beloved character Madea. His success in theater transitioned to film and television, where he built a media empire. Today, Perry is celebrated as a billionaire, a trailblazer in the entertainment industry, and a philanthropist dedicated to giving back to his community.

Now this is how black people should uplift a community. Hollywood doesnt allow you In? So you do you. You be an independent producer and be so successful you own your own studio. That's the best revenge.
