IN THIS EPISODE…
She was the Queen of the Tejano music genre. She broke down barriers once held exclusively by men. She was gone way too soon. While we mourn her death, 25 years later, we’re looking back at the 1997 Jennifer Lopez- led, biopic, Selena and the groundbreaking superstar who inspired the film. L.J. Lowery, from Geeks Under Grace (https://bit.ly/318guest), joins to talk about his own heritage and nostalgia. Plus, we’re talking about the legacy of Selena, her transcendence between communities and genres, themes of colorism and more.
