A TOUGH CRAFT

Martin asked Jasmine, an aspiring actress, if her journey towards the entertainment industry has been difficult. Her daughter has been in and out of acting auditions.

Articulating her thoughts, Jasmine, the future star, told her father that she has learned a lot about the industry ever since she was immersed in the acting world. She added:

While other people might think that acting is simple, Jasmine feels otherwise. She shared with Martin that a performer should apply a lot of techniques before an actual scene.

These techniques, Jasmine said, take time to master. She admitted that she is often hard on herself, but that she has also learned patience in learning the craft.

HOW FATHERHOOD CHANGED MARTIN

After Martin, Jasmine threw her father a question on what being a father means to him and how it has changed him. Martin replied that being a father means a lot to him.

Martin shared that he can't see his life without Jasmine and his other daughters, Iyanna and Amara. Seeing his daughters grow up and learning life lessons with them make fatherhood wonderful for him.

"Martin" premiered when African-American life and culture were under heavy scrutiny. Despite criticism, the show, which centered around the Black community's youth, was a hit among viewers.
