On top of being one of the busiest teenagers, Marsai Martin is on her way to becoming a business mogul – if she’s not already there yet. Take one look at her Instagram and you’ll see what we’re talking about. When she’s not prepping for the television show Grown-ish or producing her own movies (Little is a must-see), the booked and busy teenager is bringing in partnerships to coincide with her already booming career. Most recently, partnering with Disney.
“I feel blessed because so many people have not been able to work and although a lot of my projects have been modified and are having to be pushed back time wise, we are absolutely grateful that we have been able to keep working as much as we have,” Martin tells ESSENCE.
Earlier this month, Disney and community programming conglomerate Create & Cultivate hosted a digital summit inspired by Minnie Mouse to celebrate National Polka Dot Day. “I love all things Minnie and her whole look works no matter the generation,” the actress exclaimed. “My Grandma, Momma, myself and my baby sister all love Minnie and her style. It’s simply timeless.” The virtual event featured Minnie-inspired workshops, styling sessions, and keynote conversations.
“These current times are difficult to navigate, and finding bright spots and positive energy may be hard for some because there is so much uncertainty.” Martin included. “We have to keep each other uplifted and realize that it will take us all to join together and hold each other up.”
From designer gowns to her “YRN” chain, Martin has the range to keep it glam while sticking to business.Regardless, we can only imagine what she will accomplish as she gets older. For now, we are enjoying watching from the sidelines the actress grow into a future icon.
