Celebrating Extraordinary Leadership
Perry Blake, founder of 21UP Movement, has been named a finalist for Role Model of the Year at the prestigious MBCC Awards, which honour extraordinary individuals who turn adversity into action and inspire others through leadership, resilience, and compassion.
A massive shout out to Zoe Bennett, the one and only Motivational Queen, for founding the incredible MBCC Awards, a platform that celebrates unsung heroes who go above and beyond to drive the positive change our society needs.
Rising Above Hardship
Perry’s journey began in the foster care system, marked by instability, separation, and the pain of domestic violence. Despite the challenges of his early years, he refused to let his past define him. Instead, he transformed pain into purpose and used it as motivation to create a better future, not just for himself but for others.
After serving time in his late teens, Perry made the life-changing decision to rebuild his path. That turning point led to the creation of 21UP Movement, a youth empowerment organisation that helps young people overcome trauma, rebuild confidence, and make positive life choices.
