Actress Tisha Campbell (Martin) is entering the new year with clarity, confidence, and a powerful reminder of who she has always been.
On December 30, the actress shared a throwback Instagram post that reframed her mindset heading into 2026. She paired a vintage boxing clip with a deeply personal caption about growth, boundaries, and self-assurance.
The video, dated May 3, 2000, shows Campbell inside a boxing ring, training with a coach while moving through sharp combinations. The Martin star wears purple leggings and a matching sports bra, looking focused and controlled. More than two decades later, the footage became a visual metaphor for the message she wanted to send now.
“And now that I’m wide awake, I remember who I am!” Campbell wrote. “I’m GOING INTO 2026 JUST LIKE THIS.” She made it clear the moment was not about surface-level change. “It’s not a resolution… A rebirth. A recreation. It’s a revolution against the bullshit,” she continued.

Campbell also addressed emotional boundaries and self-protection. “Now I have no reason to hold back, bite my tongue, or allow toxic behaviors just to make others feel comfortable,” she wrote, signaling a refusal to minimize herself for others.
The actress rejected any suggestion that she was reinventing herself. “DONT CALL IT A COMEBACK! I BEEN HERE FOR YEARS!!!!” she added, before closing with encouragement and momentum. “Knock em out in 2026! HAPPY NEW YOU!” Campbell also gave credit to her longtime trainer, writing, “S/o to @terryclaybon.”
The post quickly drew support from friends and fellow stars. Gabrielle Union cheered her on with a simple, “Lets goooo!” Tichina Arnold added humor and admiration, writing, “Please don’t make her angry… I’ve watched your sparring sessions with Terry. Oh no mam.”
Others echoed the praise. Boris Kodjoe commented, “Zen took your entire face,” while Elise Neal wrote, “Get it girl!!!! BEAST MODE 2026!”
Christina Clark called Campbell “one of our Hollywood faves,” and influencer Tiara Monet recalled seeing her intensity firsthand, noting how her “hands blurred” during a past performance.
Together, the video and reactions paint a picture of an actress standing firmly in her power, carrying her strength forward, not rediscovering it.
