A letter to those who've overcome adversity desite life's ills....not just Tyler Perry
Ok ladies, so I happened to be surfing the net last night and I FOUND Tyler Perry’s website, I couldn’t help but leave him a a note and I want to share it with you because I realized it’s a message not just to him but to any and every person who has persevered despite adversity….this is for you!
Hello Sr.Perry,
I first want to begin by saying thank you for being who you are and doing what you do. I'm sure you get that allot nowadays but I must say your work is truly an inspiration and a testament to all that can be done when you put your mind to it and walk on faith. See, I was living in New York city not to long ago and I had the pleasure of attending a movie premier with DV republic where you spoke, you know what strikes me the most is your humility and frankness, in Spanish we call that "humildez" it's beautiful to see a portly beautiful man like yourself carry yourself with such dignity and pride, particularly after everything that you have experienced. you know, Tyler, not many people understand the notion of strength and perseverance, the beauty of rising from your own ashes time and gain, the easy way in which you are able to share your stories of trauma and yet paint them in such a beautiful, humorous light are revealing of a man who has clear CHARACHTER and LOVE in abundance, may God always continue to bless you, please continue to radiate that beautiful aspect of what black life in America is, were it not for you, many people would never be able to understand just how truly original our story of struggle as a people genuinely is. you know, I am a first generation afro-Dominican and my parents experience in this country has been quite a miraculous one filled with many twists and turns but yet we continue to persevere despite the myriad of obstacles we’ve encountered.....would you ever guess by the way that I articulate that I am a 31 year old single mother of teenagers who attend Boston Latin School ,whose first two children were born to her by the age of seventeen....trust me when most people see me they cant believe it but I realize that appearance isn’t everything and that the grace of God is good Tyler, may the lord continue to bless you and keep you, I can only hope that someday I may be blessed enough to tell my families story in the way that you have done. The plight of dark skinned Hispanics in this country is a complex one as well, but any who, God love you and keep you and thank you for being such an inspiration! I've been thinking allot about your most recent blog posting around grabbing a dream and holding onto it by faith.....Soul-smart is my dream Tyler, I want to tell stories that are good for the Soul because what's good for the Soul is Smart, it's what got me through college and has helped me pave the way for my siblings and my children...I'm keeping your message close to my heart and I only hope you don’t steal my brand....if wishful thinking would have it perhaps you might actually reach out to me and talk a little more about my vision, but that would be presumptuous and that not why I left you this message, I simply wanted to acknowledge you today.....Thank you for being you Tyler Perry, you give this young woman courage to keep moving forward despite life's ills.
Sending you Hugs and Love,
