“When I was younger, I said I wanted to be a legend,” Marsai shared during a recent interview with Pop Sugar. “That means when I leave this world, I want to make sure that I came with a purpose, made a positive mark, and inspired young girls to do the same thing that I did,” the Black-ish star added.
“It’s an active process of understanding the power that I have,” Martin went on to tell the press. “I feel like a regular teenager that has ups and downs,” she added. “I think it’s all about confidence and being passionate about the things you put into the world,” Marsai explained to Pop Sugar. “Being myself, just Caila Marsai Martin, it’s weird to say that I have a lot of power. I just go with the flow.”
