Tyler Perry has proved that he has a heart of gold.
Janay Duberry, an Alabama woman, took to her Instagram and revealed that Perry came to the rescue when she needed help to cover her Harvard Graduate School of Education tuition fees so she could attend the Ivy League school.
Duberry posted a picture of the 56-year-old American filmmaker and actor and wrote a lengthy caption to show her heartfelt gratitude for his generosity.
She began by writing, “Thank you @tylerperry It has been a long journey. After years of writing, building, networking, and earning my degree at Tuskegee University, I was accepted into Harvard.”
Duberry explained, “Harvard gave me generous financial aid, but I still faced a significant financial gap and did not know how I would make this dream a reality.”
However, “God made a way,” and Perry did not only hear her story; he also believed her and stepped forward to financially support her.
She wrote, “Thank you, Tyler Perry, for hearing my story, believing in my gifts as a writer and educator, and covering the remaining cost of my Harvard education.”
“Your generosity has opened the door for me to continue my education, strengthen my voice as a writer and educator, and move closer to the forthcoming books and educational work I have been building.”
The Madea’s Family Reunion creator is “a true light in the Black community. I love you, and I am overwhelmed, humbled, and grateful beyond words. Thank you for investing in my purpose and helping make this dream a reality [heart emoji],” Janay Duberry concluded.
