It’s been 25 years since we lost a legend and an icon. I hope she rest in piece knowing that she change the lives of Chicanos who feel out of society. As a little gay boy growing up in California she was the one that help me connect to my Hispanic heritage. RIP SELENA #Selena25 pic.twitter.com/gDP3EV4sfA
