"Raya is totally a warrior. When she was a kid, she was excited to get her sword. And she grows up to be a really bada--, gritty warrior and can really take care of herself."
- In an op-ed for The New York Times that August, Tran said she "started blaming herself," and began wondering if maybe she looked different or wasn't Asian, she wouldn't have been targeted.
