Letter from the 2025 Miss Los Angeles Chinatown Court

4th Princess

Dearest guests,

What a year it has been! Being your 2025 Miss Los Angeles Chinatown 4th Princess has been an immense honor and privilege.

From attending galas, speaking at elementary schools, to meeting members of our community, heavy is the head that wears the crown. With grace and dignity, the Queen and her Princesses represented our ever-changing Chinatown Community with elegance and poise.

The passing of time is inevitable, but it makes everything sweeter.

Princess Michelle, I am stunned by how beautiful you are every time I see you. I am in awe of your mind and the way you approach life. Princess Jennitine, your precision and ability to make everyone feel seen inspire me. You are a friend to everyone, and everything always, always works out in your favor. Princess Ashley, your bravery and commitment to justice are true indicators of your character. Queen Nina, your determination and the way you get everything you want continue to amaze me. You are the luckiest person I know.

As our reign comes to a close, I now understand that anything is possible. This year, like magic, I was a Princess. Who knows what I’ll be next? A YouTuber, an Actor, a CEO, or maybe even the mayor? Who knows, the possibilities are endless.

With love and gratitude,

Terena Phan
