The Bachelorette season 21 debuted on Monday, July 8. Jenn Tran became the first Asian-American Bachelorette on the successful ABC dating show.

Tran entered the show expecting to discover true love. For those unfamiliar, the show's structure allows the single female to mingle with and date many men to determine who she has the strongest connection with. The Bachelorette season 21 synopsis states:

"In her quest to find true love, a single woman gets a chance to date various men over a period of several weeks and decide whom she will marry."

Being the first Asian American Bachelorette put Tran under pressure, which she described as a historic event in an interview with USA TODAY. She understood the importance of her contribution to inclusivity and change.
