Marsai Martin has grown from a beloved sitcom star into a powerhouse young mogul. Born in 2004 in Plano, Texas, she captured hearts as Diane Johnson on “Black-ish,” amassing multiple NAACP Image and BET YoungStars Awards along the way.
At just 14, she shattered records by becoming Hollywood’s youngest executive producer with Little, a film she both starred in and produced, launching her production company, Genius Productions, and securing a first-look deal with Universal.
Since then, she’s continued to diversify her footprint through roles and projects like Fantasy Football, voice work (PAW Patrol, Spirit Untamed), her Disney Channel series Saturdays, and her design-focused show Remix My Space With Marsai Martin.
Today, at 20, Marsai is stepping boldly into the action genre, starring alongside Viola Davis in the new Prime Video thriller G20, where she plays a savvy president’s daughter helping thwart a terrorist attack, her performance marked by confidence, representation, and style.
Off-screen, Marsai radiates creative independence: she curates HBCU-centered festivals, prioritizes self-care, and consistently pushes boundaries as both a performer and entrepreneur. Her journey is a masterclass in turning early talent into sustained influence, and she’s just getting started.
