Pick Yourself Up Invited Dr. Trina Lynch-Jackson, a Author, Professor, & Social Entrepreneur to discuss what is needed to pursue your personal success story. The conversation comments starts with a very successful man, Tyler Perry. This man created his own Hollywood and was the first African-American to outright own a major film studio, rightly named Tyler Perry Studios. One thing Tyler Perry always had was confidence and has always believed in himself. Dr. Trina tells us that sometimes you have to close the door and open up another one. When you are an underdog or underserve you are seen as a challenge in a community. That is why you need to know who you are and what you want, then you can surround yourself with people who believe in you, and you always believe in yourself.
