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.

People couldn't help but laugh:

"The martial arts hands"
"naaah she went lil Kim dance moves in a second"
"the lady who walked out with her handbag made my night"

They also thought it was so real:

"She's so cute!"

But in all seriousness, I'm glad everyone's okay! You can see the clip for yourself here:
