She's also an ambassador for "When We All Vote" — Michelle Obama's national initiative to increase voter turnout — and this weekend, she stopped by the 2023 AfroTech Conference in Austin to talk about it.

Marsai was chatting with journalist Sylvia Obell when something started flying around the room.

At first, neither of them knew what it was, but after being informed that it was a bat, Marsai rightfully freaked out.

What would you do if you were bombarded by a bat? Marsai Martin was on the floor, running all over the stage, and even one audience member needed to excuse themselves from the terribly adorable flying animal. 🥹 How do you think you’d react to being face-to-face with a bat? 😅 #MarsaiMartin #Bat #funny #commentary #storytime #Blavity #Afrotech
