Marsai Martin: From “Black-ish” to Boss Moves

Baby, this is Keke Palmer

Y’all know there’s no shortage of films focused on the trauma of the Black experience, but today’s guest has a “no Black pain” rule for the films she chooses to do. You probably fell in love with Marsai Martin as Diane on “Black-ish,” or maybe you saw her killing it as the Woodpecker on “The Masked Singer.” But what you might not know is that she’s a boss—literally the youngest executive producer in Hollywood history. We’re talking all about her journey from child star to shot-caller, supporting the next generation of young stars, and how Hollywood just cannot figure out how to market Black entertainment.
