The youngest of 10 children raised in North Charleston, Martin-Carrington was on the go from an early age. Her father, Samuel Martin Sr., was born on Daniel Island and was a successful carpenter, with a woodyard in the Union Heights community, as well as a Baptist minister. Her father was also a savvy real estate investor, partnering with a friend to buy 25 acres from Seaboard Railroad along Spruill Avenue and instilling in his daughter an understanding of the value of land and home ownership as an anchor for community. This interest is now fueling Martin-Carrington’s latest endeavor—a plan to build regenerative, affordable housing near the neighborhood where she grew up.
