Marsai Martin is not only a talented actress but she is an activist on a mission to help bring an end to bullying. Recently, the Black-ish star has teamed up with Takis and DoSomething.org for a new campaign called “Treat Yo Friends” that encourages young people to help stop bullying and fight social isolation.
“I’m all about showing up for my friends, especially when they need me the most,” Martin says. “I’m excited to give tons of people my age ways to show up for their friends too. Filming this video was so fun, and I’m proud to be part of the ‘Treat Yo Friends’ campaign.”
“Treat Yo Friends” runs through January 31, and young people can sign up by visiting dosomething.org/friends or by texting FRIENDS to 38383. Those who participate will enter for a chance to win a $5,000 scholarship from DoSomething.org!
