Congratulations are in order! A freeway sign was named after Tyler Perry’s studio.
The iconic filmmaker, actor, director, and playwright took to his Instagram to let fans know that the signs on the highway has been changed to state “Tyler Perry Studios East Point Exit 1 Mile.” He also expressed he got emotional when he seen it for the first time.
He captions the photo, “driving into work today I saw these signs on the highways being changed. My eyes filled with water knowing what God has allowed to happen in my life. Atlanta has truly been the promised land for me.”
He let fans know that when he came to Atlanta he was homeless, and relied on his dream and vision, “ I came here with nothing, lived off Sylvan Road, ended up homeless and starving, but I was always praying and believing. I was always keeping the faith, knowing that if I worked hard, did my absolute best, kept my integrity, honored every blessing, and remained grateful through it all that everything would work out. And it has, thank God.”
