"Marsai Martin"

Born in Plano, Texas, Marsai Martin began acting before she could even talk. At just five years old, she landed her first national commercial for The Choice Hotel in the ad “Voice of the People.” After relocating to Los Angeles, Martin was cast as Diane Johnson on the Emmy-nominated hit comedy Black-ish. Her role as the youngest daughter on Kenya Barris’ ABC sitcom earned her nominations at the NAACP Image Awards, BET Awards, and SAG Awards.

In April 2022, Martin became the world’s youngest executive producer to star in her own film with 2019’s Little. Through her company, Genius Productions, which she launched at just 14, Martin continues to champion positive Black stories, making her one of Hollywood’s brightest stars and a powerful voice for representation.

HELLA INSPIRED.
