The stars showed up en mass to support Tyler Perry’s tremendous new venture – his very own movie studio in the heart of Atlanta. The biggest and brightest stars in Hollywood showed up dressed to impress in order to celebrate the only Black man to own a major movie studio in the United States. It was a tremendous moment, not only in Black excellence but for Black love.
