Bachelorette’s Jenn Tran Reveals Advice Michelle Young Gave Her on How to Deal With Racism


New Bachelorette Jenn Tran revealed the advice Michelle Young gave her when it comes to dealing with racism and haters, telling her to 'be strong-willed.'

And I wanted to know how she handled all that and whether she thought it was worth it in the end,” the New Jersey native continued, adding that she reached out to Michelle, 31, for the advice before agreeing to become the next Bachelorette. ABCJenn shared how excited she was to be breaking new ground, telling host Jesse Palmer, “It’s honestly incredible and I feel so, so grateful and so honored to be the first Asian Bachelorette in this franchise.” Anytime Asians were in the media it was to fill a supporting character role, to fulfill some sort of stereotype and I always felt boxed in by that because I was like, I don’t see myself on screen.
