In a world of judgment and cancel culture, the question of whether it’s okay to let people into your personal space looms large. However, after watching Tyler Perry’s Lifetime story, “Maxine Baby,” my perspective on sharing personal stories shifted somewhat. Tyler shared his story once he had reached the major leagues of success. But what if he was still climbing the ladder, living in a small apartment with an average car and no studio? Would people still be as enamored by his journey?

Tyler’s story is nothing short of profound, and experiencing his life through Amazon’s special was an incredibly inspirational moment that resonated with the world. It left no room for doubting oneself. Tyler’s gifts, his ability to overcome life’s obstacles, and that infectious smile take you to a place that screams, “I can and I will.”

However, we all have stories to tell, and from a publicist’s perspective, it’s best to achieve your greatest accomplishments before baring your soul on social media or any stage. The reason people embraced Tyler’s story is that he had achieved greatness authentically. He had worked the circuit, built his audience, and owned his brand. The circuit, though often dreaded, is where the real work happens. It can’t be replaced by digital currency or sitting behind a computer screen, posting your aspirations daily. Real success comes from hitting the road, kissing babies, and shaking hands, meeting your audience or target market where they are.

Tyler Perry’s brand is traditional and untouched by viral trends. It’s a brand that will go down in history as a testament to a man’s ability to overcome by any means necessary. He not only achieved greatness but also retained ownership of his creative intellectual properties, royalties, and more. In an industry where only 0.1% of African Americans own the rights to their creative work, Tyler’s story is a shining example of success against the odds.

So, as we reflect on Tyler’s journey, we’re reminded that it’s not about the likes, dislikes, shares, or reposts on social media that define a brand. It’s about the human connection, the ability to touch your audience’s hearts with a genuine approach, rather than a mere tap of the keyboard. Tyler’s story reinforces that, no matter your skin tone or gender, God is always in control.
