Born and raised in New Orleans to Honduran immigrant parents, in her downtime Martin and one of her sisters (she has two, and one brother) recently started their own clothing line, Martin Ave—from which a portion of proceeds benefit rural villages and small towns in their parents’ homeland of Honduras through a partnership with Humanity and Hope United Foundation.
The “Hola, y’all” T-shirt cleverly sums up Martin’s bubbly personality and unique perspective as a Latina raised in the American South.
