Just finished watching Maxine’s Baby: The Tyler Perry Story. Had to take a few breaks because I kept crying. Still crying. Y’all know I’m emotional.

Soooo…where do I begin?

First, I would like to thank God for giving us Tyler Perry. God knew what we needed long before we existed. He knew we would need someone to see us, represent us, and honor us for who we truly are. Someone to make us laugh when we feel like crying. Someone to encourage us when we feel like giving up. Someone to inspire us to dream dreams larger than life. Yes, He gave us Tyler.

Secondly, I would like to thank Tyler’s beautiful mother, the late Mrs. Willie Maxine Perry, for birthing and raising such a brilliant son. From a mother’s perspective, Tyler represents everything we’ve ever dreamed for our babies and more. What a blessing!

I would also like to thank Gelila Bekele and Armani Ortiz for sharing Tyler’s story with the world. This documentary was so beautifully done. I’m still crying. His story needed to be shared and at this time. Timing is everything.

Lastly, I would like to thank Mr. Tyler Perry for being Tyler Perry. For being his true, authentic self. There’s never been anyone like him before now, and there will never be another after he’s gone, which I pray is many decades from now. Wishing him much love, success, and many, many more blessings throughout his lifetime.

I am inspired.♥️
