My full time job for 2020 has been examining Selena’s life & legacy. I’m also a lifelong fan. I’ve read everything. Seen all the archives. Spent time w her dad & sister. I'm going to unpack why so many ppl feel betrayed by #SelenaNetflix #selenatheseries and why it matters
First, a preface. Selena was a woman, like a living, breathing actual person, not just an icon or an idea. Her family lost a daughter, a sister, part of their heart. I never want to forget that this is also a story about a family's deep pain & resilience. I speak from love.
Let's begin with Selena's character. We hardly see her. She's kind of quiet, her smile a bit meek, usually in the background. This was the antithesis of Selena. The whole reason we are still enamored w her a quarter century later is bc of her ferocious, big spirited personality.
