Kelly Marie Tran Speaks Out For The First Time Since Racist Attacks

  • The actress added that all of the racist attacks reinforced microaggressions she and her family have faced that led them to do things such as changing their names “so it was easier for others to pronounce” or stop speaking Vietnamese as a kid because she didn’t want to be teased.
  • She summed up her essay on a powerful note, writing: “You might know me as Kelly. I am the first woman of color to have a leading role in a ‘Star Wars’ movie. I am the first Asian woman to appear on the cover of Vanity Fair. My real name is Loan. And I am just getting started.”

“My real name is Loan. And I am just getting started.”
