Meet Kelly Marie Tran.

Unless, you’ve been living under a rock, she plays mechanic “Rose Tico” in “Star Wars: The Last Jedi”.

Her role makes her the FIRST Asian-American woman to play a lead in a Star Wars film.
This past summer, she became the First Asian woman to appear on the cover of Vanity Fair.
However her backstory is even more inspiring. Her parents are refugees who fled the Vietnam War to start a new life in the U.S.
