Tyler Perry reflected on the deep connection to his late mother through a shared family necklace: "She had a chain with all of her kids' initials on it. When she died, they had it broken up... so we all have this chain." His mother's influence remains crucial in his life as he recalls her encouragement and teachings.
Perry shared a profound quote, attributing his mother's hand as the first weapon he ever held: "With those hands, she taught me so much about prayer and getting through things... those things for me are very, very important." This illustrates the lasting impact of his mother's lessons.
While accepting the Icon Award, Perry emphasized the significance of prayer in his life, saying: "That same hand of my mother's that was my first weapon was also hands that she told me to put together and pray... I've been leaning into all of the good that is in the world." His reflections show a strong spiritual connection.
