Selena

Her career included being a performer, performer and designer who broke through obstacles in the field. The Mexican-American singer was also traditional. She brought Tejano into mainstream music. Similar to how there are many who mourn a superstar who died too young, her death was untimely and shattered the progress of her career. Since then, her fans have worked even more to never forget the achievements she's accomplished. Selena's shooting death sparked emotion in Latino society that could be similar with Elvis Presley, and John Lennon. A hugely popular performer within Latino communities throughout North America her music crossed cultural boundaries to touch the lives of young and old alike. Selena has been called by many as an Latina Madonna, however she is still a great example to follow. Selena's family values off stage and her participation in AIDS awareness efforts provide a great example.
