Your favorite little TV sister won the NAACP award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.

Marsai Martin is starting off 2018 on a high note.  The 13-year-old has been honored with the award because of her portrayal as the sassy Diane Johnson on Black-ish.

I had no idea I was gonna win this award . This one was a complete surprise and I was so discombobulated that I forgot to thank my blackish family. @kenyab_in_imax3d @anthonyanderson @traceeellisross @yarashahidi @marcusscribner @milesbrown @jeniferlewisforreal #laurencefishburne #august #berlin @pmack61 @deoncole @jeffmeacham @maldonadoiseverywhere I am so honored to be a part of this show and this family.
