(2/2) #ImagineThis —A confederate army base is now a studio the size of Warner Brothers, Sony, and Disney combined— and owned by one black man. To further this magical, historical moment in time, sound stages were dedicated to our legends and icons including Oprah, Denzel, Halle, Whoopi, Will Smith and the very missed Diahann Carroll. To say this was a moment of a lifetime is an understatement. There are no words to describe what I was so blessed to witness, but I just have to express my deepest gratitude at being included. My great friend and wonderful boss @tylerperry made sure that this was an appreciation for the culture, the team, and every last one of us that are lucky enough to share in his dream. Honoring our cast with these stars that will live at the new @tylerperrystudios is an incredible, thoughtful gift. With monumental love and appreciation, THANK YOU TYLER! ??♥️
