All they need to say is I'm blessed that I was able to get a start because of the contacts I have because of my family and acknowledge that I have privilege that others don't have which helped me get started.
We know you work hard, and that your talent is there. You also got your agent and initial auditions because of who you knew and it would have taken a lot longer for you to get started if you hadn't been rich and connected.
Even someone who barely has any nepotism like Meghan Markle (whose father worked behind the scenes) had knowledge of how to get agents and how the entire system worked (and a lack of student loans) that someone whose parents were factory workers or teachers in the midwest wouldn't have.
