A New Challenge in "Preach, Pray, Love"
In the upcoming romantic comedy Preach, Pray, Love, Tran takes on the character of Charlie Jones—a rapper recognized for her sharp lyrics and powerful stage presence. For the actress, embodying a music artist was a fresh and challenging experience.
“One of the biggest challenges playing this role was rapping… throughout the movie that is me rapping in the songs LMAO.”

“I didn’t want to just like, go in and just kind of wing it, you know.”
