Everything Marsai Martin touches seems to turn to gold. At 20, the multihyphenate has created quite the résumé for herself — working as an award-winning actress on hit projects like “Black-ish,” making history as the youngest person to produce a studio film with “Little” (casual!), and even launching her own production company aptly titled Genius Productions (a fitting name given her already expansive body of work).
After a breakthrough few years that have seen the actress embrace a meteoric rise in Hollywood and cement herself as one of Tinsel Town’s brightest up-and-coming stars, Martin seems more content — and even more aware of her reasons to smile — than ever before, telling PS exclusively: “. . . the little details that go on into our everyday lives is what makes me happy [right now]. And even having little things like this — being able to connect with different people . . . create different projects for people to watch and also feel joy when they watch my content, just makes me happy.”
The latest addition to Martin’s ever-growing list of projects includes a partnership between herself and Philips Sonicare, which supports her continued mission of empowering diverse voices to speak up, unlock their inner confidence, and show up as their most radiant selves — with the help of a beaming smile, of course.
We had the chance to chat with Martin about her Philips Sonicare partnership, the elements that go into creating a great smile (spoiler: it’s all about the morning routine, folks!), and every other product she’s currently obsessed with — including the everyday sneakers she’ll “pair with anything.”
